| “An echo
of the old masters resounds in the paintings of Renaldo
Bellini, Bellini has acquired a translucency that renders
grapes as succulent to the senses as those fresh off the
vine. Viewer is spellbound before a droplet of dew, reluctant
to look away for fear it evaporates and the exquisitely
delicate spectacle disappears. Bellini has gathered realism
into his very capable command and carried in into a fourth
dimension.” |

| “In my 45 years as a conservator, having worked on hundreds of old masters in Europe and contemporary masters both in the United States and Europe…my quest to find an art form that will never deteriorate like the old masters have, came to an end when I discovered the masterpieces of Renaldo Bellini…his work will stand forever through generations of time as the epitome of all art form. Bellini’s works is unprecedented…” |

| “As
a photographer of Fine Art at such institutions as the
Norton Simon Museum and the National Gallery of Art, The
Smithsonian Institute, I have never seen any contemporary
oil painter demonstrating techniques which even surpass
that of the old masters. Layered glazes bring out an astonishing
depth of color which photography can only hope to approach.
Mr. Bellini’s art should be viewed and studied as
a blend of Old Masters excellence and contemporary technique” |

“All painters
are looking for new ways to express themselves. Renaldo
has developed a style that is new, but based on the old
techniques of master artists. That is what makes this very
exciting. We have something new, that is probably very
old”

“Renaldo
Bellini’s creations exude the resonance of the
prestigious Italian artists of renowned. His renderings
are mesmerizing and awe inspiring. They transmit the
very union and synthesis of his devoted faith and loving
heart. The patience and care that he gives to each of
his works is admirable. His personal innovative technique
of meshing the glowing layers of color with the poise
and harmony of his carefully chosen subjects emerge in
a union and synthesis without comparison – a zenith
of elegance. How this poetry of canvas, can still be
wrought in this circa of time is one more of God’s
gifts to us through an obedient servant!”

| “It
is an inspiration of heavenly forces, emanating from
the unwavering faith of an artist in the spiritual omnipotence
of the Lord and the Father that have penetrated the vision
and strength of Renaldo. This limitless gift of heaven
helped in developing his artistic progression, aided
by the benefit of internal space and unending patience
while maintaining the perspective of validity for his
enduring work in a modern society.
In his work, Renaldo captures the character
and inner spiritual structure of his subjects, filtered
through the judgment of the artist in terms of ethical
values, in line with things that may be eternal. The
perfection of Renaldo makes the person or objects of
his paintings reflect their internal values and a spiritual
aura. The prevalence of allegoric concepts and symbolic
objects in Renaldo’s works enhance the explanation
of such aura.
The technique of sculptural liveliness
radiates like in the work of great old masters. The
three dimensionality is further increased by the
refractivity of the glazes that strengthen the colors
and the separation of the multitude of shadings,
as well as fortifying the dynamism of the paintings,
lending them the qualify of “eternal life”.
The spirituality of each object or person in Renaldo’s
works renders the impression of a fourth dimensional.”
