Bel Mur

Artist Statement:

I live and work in Barcelona.

An economist and artist for a long time I have dedicated myself exclusively to what I am passionate about, the plastic arts. Eternal student, I have gradually incorporated higher studies related to the world of art into my curriculum.

I have participated continuously in group and individual exhibitions. My work is already in private collections on several continents. It fills me with emotion to think that a part of my soul is today in other places.

Social art moves me, the one that reflects the reality of the world we live in, the one that tries to awaken consciences. I believe that we must be committed to the environment and to our reality and it is essential to take sides and defend what we believe in. I believe that the world should be a fairer place and only from myself can I contribute to that change.
