Contemporary landscape painter based in Besalú (Girona). He began his artistic training at the Superior School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, finishing at Sant Jordi in Barcelona. In order to broaden his studies he undertook several trips to Paris, Rome, Vienna, London… He held successive exhibitions in Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Terrassa, Banyoles, La Bisbal, Besalú, Torroella de Montgrí, Sabadell, Lloret, Ripoll and Murcia. He also participated in various competitions in Valencia and Barcelona. Many of his works are currently in collections in our country and others scattered in Germany, France, USA, Saudi Arabia, etc. Speaking of the life and work of Beltrán Messa prompts one to look at nature and the urban environment. But it is in the first that he feels most at home. A classical training, he conveys serenity and balance in the manner of Claudio de Lorena and the innovation represented by the Barbizon School and the impressionists. Hidden valleys, streams, mountains, ox-drawn carts… and Man. The perfect harmony in his natural setting. Yellows, greens and ochres dominate in a well-defined palette that he applies either in pure state or through subtle mixtures to compose the life that vibrates in all its splendor. And the sea: very white constructions and stranded boats on the beach evoke memories of a mythical and ancestral Mediterranean. A nuanced Luminism is breathed in the masterful treatment of light and color. The results remain surprising when Beltrán Messa steps onto the asphalt of the big city. Barcelona was the artist's preferred model in those cases and even then, nature remained very present in boulevards full of flowers and in clouds on the verge of rain. Beltrán Messa's city is a beating entity, capable of surpassing the human being who inhabits it. And just as in his rural landscapes, rain is an essential part of the narrative, with umbrellas blooming like mushrooms in an environment of devilish traffic from which only the noise of horns is missed. He also does not renounce experimenting with less traditional techniques than oil on canvas. Newspaper clippings enrich his work with photographic nuances when he allows himself the license of collage. Sincere art in service of feelings on the surface, values of the soul.
