Belmonte is preparing for an upcoming exhibition of his work at Montevideo’s National Museum. His paintings are sensual, fantastical, and sometimes colorful, yet all have a melancholic undertone. A divorced dad, Belmonte has recently been more obsessed with his relationship with his young daughter, Celeste, than with his work—especially now that Celeste’s mom is about to have a baby with her new partner.
