Martínez Bellido
Cádiz, 1992
Obtained a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Seville in 2014. The artistic output of José Manuel Martínez Bellido explores the relationships between images, words and memory. Using drawing as its principal analytical medium, his work simultaneously questions representation, narrative and recollections.
He has participated in various group shows, most notably: BIUNIC and De lo efímero y lo perdurable at Fundación Valentín de Madariaga (Seville, 2015), La Caja: Sobre lo colectivo y el caos at the Seville Faculty of Fine Arts (Seville, 2014), and Creamos intercambios at Fundación Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo (Seville, 2013). He has also received several grants, including the Beca de Paisaje awarded by Fundación Rodríguez-Acosta in Granada (2014), the Beca Sevilla es Talento from the Institute of Culture and Arts of Seville (2014), and the Beca Creamos Intercambios from the Seville-based Fundación Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo (2013).
