| Passion and purity of
heart guide a Bellini line that began in the 15th Century
and continues to this day. Master artists such as Jacopo
Bellini and his sons, Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, were
considered the greatest Venetian painters of the Renaissance.
Their master works are honored and housed at the finest
museums in the world, from the Uffizi to the incomparable
Louvre, to the Splendor of London's Royal Museum.
Following the Bellini artistic heritage Vincenzo Bellini's
masterful operas such as Norma and I Puritani captivated
the opera houses of Europe during the late 1800's. All
of them embraced the ideas that resonate today in Renaldo
Bellini's mind, body and soul.
His art education began at the tender age of twelve
under the tutelage of precision artisans who taught him
the artistic disciplines from the violin, to the voice
and at last the canvas. Each of these gifts blossomed
in testimony of his enduring faith which soon gained
a following in Europe and the United States.
Along with his developed artistic
skills, Renaldo’s
voice matured into a finely tuned instrument that was
heard in concert and recital halls around the world.
At the early age of seventeen he made his professional
debut as an operatic tenor. Yet it is Renaldo's gift
for the brush, and his fascination with colors, that
led him to combine the traditions of the Old Masters
with the feel of the modern, offering the world a legacy
for the future.
His works, represented in major private collections
throughout the world, reflect a man who has given us
paintings and a vision that pay homage to the Masters
of the past. He painstakingly applies thousands of thin
layers of colors in a myriad of glazes and paint that
create millions of hues of color that shift and change
with each flicker of light. The multi-dimensional feel
of the finished masterpiece leaves an indelible sense
that a new art form has been born.
His commitment, sacrifice and unselfish
nature to create a vision bestowed by God upon him
from a humble rendering to the final brushstrokes,
has rewarded him with that which he believes is the
desire of all true artists, to serve their fellow man
through their gifts, for which we are blessed to behold
a piece of the past that unveils a banquet for our
senses and a blessing to our souls…a
splendor captured only in the art of Bellini.
