The exhibition will be inaugurated on September 13 at 20:00
at the Museum of San Javier and may be seen until 30 March.
Bethlehem has his work and his life, especially related to the sea, and in particular the Mediterranean.
Cartagenera of birth, studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he majored in sculpture and intaglio engraving.
Then continued forming on the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Palma de Mallorca.
Three Mediterranean cities.
Always close to the sea.
Sea.
Paper, brass, vinyl, iron, wood, marble, alabaster and networks are some of the materials the artist used to create your personal universe that could pass for the creation reminiscent of a mermaid on land.
Shells, paper bodies, tentacles, self-absorbed figures alone, outside the world around us, bubbles, voids, empty spaces filled and fill up the conceptual map of Bethlehem.
The jellyfish in Greek mythology chthonic monsters were female turned into stone all who looked at them.
Etymologically, its meaning is "protector."
Is that why, by the desire to protect the beauty, the jellyfish are prominent in the work of Bethlehem.
Jellyfish handmade paper such as carved marble sculptures "looking" "iceberg" or "igloo".
A work-of-Bethlehem is always counter-like fish that bite the tail chasing each other to create forms cup-shaped cylinder hidden in the deep sea, thus denying a toast to the sun.
Belén Orta is undoubtedly an artist with his own language where the gaps are too full.
