He trained at the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia and at Sant Jordi in Barcelona, and enriched his style after journeys to Paris, Rome, Vienna and London. Beltrán Messa specialized in rural and urban landscapes, showing a marked preference for nature. His work, of a classical bent, stands out for its serenity, balance and nuanced luminism, in the line of Claudio de Lorena and the Barbizon School, as well as Impressionist influences. Yellow, greens and ochre tones predominate in his palette; the light and the Mediterranean Sea are protagonists in his painting, alongside scenes of bustling, rainy cities such as Barcelona and Valencia. He also experimented with mixed techniques such as collage, using newspaper paper. His works are in Spanish and international collections (Germany, France, USA, Saudi Arabia). He was a prolific artist, consistent in drawing and in perceiving details. In short, Beltrán Messa is recognized for his harmonious landscapes, the masterful treatment of light and color, and for his ability to portray nature and the urban environment with great sensitivity.
