From Business Visionary to Artistic Trailblazer
Ricardo Bellino’s career is a testament to bold thinking and relentless creativity. Starting as a young entrepreneur, Bellino introduced the Elite Model Look agency to Brazil at just 21, playing a pivotal role in launching the careers of global supermodels like Gisele Bündchen and Adriana Lima. His audacious spirit later led him to secure a partnership with Donald Trump in a mere three-minute pitch, culminating in the creation of Trump Realty Brazil.
Now, Bellino channels his ingenuity into the art world, redefining how we view sustainability and pop culture through his groundbreaking “Pixtures” series.
The Art of “Pixtures”
Bellino’s “Pixtures” are large-scale portraits crafted from thousands of recycled Nespresso coffee capsules. This unique medium transforms discarded items into vibrant works of art, combining sustainability with pop art aesthetics.
Each piece—whether it’s Marilyn Monroe, Barack Obama, or John F. Kennedy—utilizes thousands of meticulously arranged capsules to create a pixelated effect. Up close, viewers marvel at the precise alignment of colorful shapes. From a distance, these capsules merge into lifelike portraits that capture the essence of cultural icons.
This innovative approach not only highlights Bellino’s artistic prowess but also serves as a commentary on recycling and consumer culture, encouraging audiences to see beauty in the mundane.
Exhibitions, Features, and Where to Find Bellino’s Work
Bellino’s “Pixtures” have captivated audiences worldwide. Notable exhibitions include the Nespresso Capsule Art Exhibit and Tasting Bar in SoHo, NYC, where 17 of his portraits were showcased, each offering a striking blend of artistry and sustainability.
For collectors and admirers, Bellino’s work is now available on ANASAEA, a platform dedicated to connecting artists with audiences. His standout piece, “Dubai,” exemplifies his signature style and commitment to innovation.
Artist’s Words:
“The capsules depict colors point by point—up close it is a myriad of perfectly aligned colorful shapes, but step back and the iconic faces materialize.”
