Fernando Bellver trained in Madrid and furthered his studies in Oslo thanks to a scholarship. He began his career in the eighties, holding exhibitions in Madrid galleries such as Nolde or Tórculo. Around this time he participated in important fairs such as ARCO, as well as winning several prizes. As part of his activity as a graphic artist, he has also been invited by the governments of Norway and Egypt to produce series on these countries. Now fully recognised internationally, Bellver has participated in fairs such as the Art Expo in New York and Basel, and has exhibited his work all over the world. In the mid-1990s he won the Gold Medal for engraving at the Alexandria Biennial, and was a member of the jury for the National Engraving Prize of the Calcografía Nacional. He is currently represented in the MNCA Reina Sofía, the ICO Collection, the Centro Conde Duque in Madrid, the Rashid Collection in Alexandria, the National Library, the Marcelino Botín Foundation, the Museums of Contemporary Art in Cairo and Jaén, the Museum of Fine Arts in Granada, New York University, the National Chalcography, the BBVA, Juan March and Chase Manhattan Bank collections and the Diputación de Sevilla, among other public and private collections. In this composition Bellver remains within his particular neo-pop style.
