Fernando Bellver (1954) - Chica

Fernando Bellver is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose career spans painting, printmaking, sculpture, drawing, and photography. He trained at the Madrid School of Arts and Crafts and in printmaking techniques at Dimitri Papageorgiu’s workshop. In 1981 he cofounded the emblematic Taller Mayor 28, a creative space that gathered key figures of Spanish contemporary art. He debuted in 1972 at the Antonio Machado bookstore in Madrid, and since then has maintained a constant presence in galleries such as Esti_Arte, Fefa Seiquer, Juana Mordó, and Max Estrella. With humor and virtuosity, his work fuses classical images from art history with ironic twists, composing dense compositions that invite close inspection. He has received prestigious scholarships, including one in Oslo and another in Rome, and has taught as a visiting professor in places like the University of Austin, consolidating his international training and projection. His trajectories through exhibitions and fairs span four continents, and his style unfolds an ironic mix of references, from pop art to comics or postmodern aesthetics. His printmaking work has been recognized with awards such as the Gold Medal at the Cairo and Alexandria Biennials, and the National Prize for Graphic Art in 2008. His travel notebooks and his creative rhythm — three months of painting, three of sculpture, three of printmaking — reflect a vital process, connected with humor and aesthetic exploration. Bellver’s work is present in institutions such as the Museo Reina Sofía, ICO collections, Cairo museums, and in private collections, always standing out for its refined irony, its free gaze, and its expert technique.
