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 near the 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 that jellyfish are prominent in the work of Bethlehem.
Jellyfish handmade paper as the carved marble sculptures "looking" "iceberg" or "igloo".
A work-Bethlehem-always the counter, like fish who bite the tail chasing each other to create forms cup-shaped cylinder hidden in the depths of the sea.
Belén Orta is undoubtedly an artist with his own language where the gaps are too full.
The exhibition can be seen until September 30 at the municipal museum in the morning and afternoon.
