(*) A dedicated artist, Bellver uses each of his works to show a piece of his dreams, his ideals, his vision of the world and the history of art, compelling us to engage in a dialogue with each work with the aim of self-discovery (personal nakedness through art). Dominated by a desire for recreation rather than creation in the traditional sense, he remains another false appearance, since the result of his alliance between various elements or themes from different cultures or eras that manage to fuse gives rise to the birth of a new signifier.
With irony and dadaist moments, he unexpectedly combines elements belonging to opposing iconographies, for example representing leaders of the Cuban revolution as a stained-glass window, a feature of Catholic imagery (Cuban Saints 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 studied in Madrid and continued in Oslo thanks to a scholarship. He began his career in the 1980s, presenting exhibitions in Madrid galleries such as Nolde and Tórculo. By these years he participated in major fairs such as ARCO. He was invited to the Impact Art Festival in Kyoto, and taught printmaking at the University of Austin, USA. He continues to hold exhibitions in Spain as well as in Hungary, Norway, France, England, Taiwan, the United States, etc. Bellver is internationally recognized and has exhibited his work worldwide.

In the mid-1990s he won the Gold Medal for engraving at the Alexandria Biennale, and he was part of the jury of the National Prize for Engraving at the Calcografía Nacional.
He is represented in MNCA Reina Sofía, the ICO Collection, Centro Conde Duque in Madrid, Rashid Collection of Alexandria, the National Library, the Marcelino Botín Foundation, the Cairo and Jaén Museums of Contemporary Art, the Granada Fine Arts Museum, New York University, the Calcografía Nacional, the BBVA, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank collections, and the Diputación de Sevilla, among others.
