(*) An artist of great dedication, Bellver treats each of his works as a way to show a piece of his dreams, his ideals, his view of the world, and the history of art, forcing us to engage in a dialogue with each work with the aim of discovering oneself (personal nudity through art). Dominated by the urge to recreate rather than to create in the traditional sense, he remains one more false appearance, since the result of his alliance between various elements or themes from different cultures or eras that manage to fuse together gives birth to a new signifier.
With ironic character, and dadaist at moments, he unexpectedly combines elements belonging to opposite iconographies, for example depicting leaders of the Cuban revolution as in a stained glass window, a feature of Catholicism (Cubansanto series). His demystifying proposals imply a deep exercise of observation, from which he shows his own thinking in the background, achieving his goal of defining art, reality and the self.
He trained in Madrid and extended his studies in Oslo thanks to a scholarship. He began his career in the eighties, showcasing in Madrid galleries such as Nolde or Tórculo. Even in those years he participated in important fairs like ARCO. He is invited to the Impact Art Festival in Kyoto, and as a printmaking professor at the University of Austin, USA. He continues to celebrate exhibitions, both in Spain and in Hungary, Norway, France, England, Taiwan, the United States, etc. Fully internationally recognized, Bellver has exhibited his work all over the world.
In the mid-nineties he won the Gold Medal in engraving at the Alexandria Biennale, and was part of the jury of the National Prize for Engraving at the Calcografía Nacional.
He is represented in the MNCA Reina Sofía, the ICO Collection, the Centro Conde Duque in Madrid, the Rashid Collection of Alexandria, the National Library, the Marcelino Botín Foundation, the Cairo and Jaén Museums of Contemporary Art, the Granada School of Fine Arts, New York University, the Calcografía Nacional, the BBVA, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank collections, and the Diputación de Sevilla, among other collections.
