In his final years of career, he opened his first dental clinic located on 14th Street in Zone 10, in front of the Tiffany buildings. <\/span><\/p><p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\">At that time, Carmen Albacete De Carlos, cousin of Dr. Beltranena (married to the renowned Guatemalan sculptor Luis Carlos), opened one of the first contemporary art galleries in the country, \u201cPl\u00e1stica Contempor\u00e1nea\u201d. Located two blocks from the clinic, the art gallery quickly became popular and frequently organized exhibitions of different artists. <\/span><\/p><p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\">At that time, the gallery exhibitions were held regularly in the evenings. Good wines, snacks and important and interesting people were part of the evenings surrounded by the talent of great masters, which made me a frequent visitor to the events\u201d comments Dr. Beltranena. <\/span><\/p><p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\">For several years he participated in the events, getting to know more and more of the artists and investors who also frequented them, immersing himself more and more in the fascinating world of art. <\/span><\/p><p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\">In 1992, while continuing his professional practice, he had the opportunity to acquire his first work of art. A painting by Francisco Auy\u00f3n, a disciple of the renowned artist and founder of the Vertebra group in the 1960s, Elmar Ren\u00e9 Rojas. At that time, the work was acquired through an exchange. A motorcycle, dental treatments and cash in installments opened the doors for him to start what is now one of the largest private collections in the country. <\/span><\/p><p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\">As the years went by, Dr. Beltranena&#039;s professional career grew in parallel with his friendship with many investors and artists in the region. His relationship with the artists opened the doors to their studios and workshops, so he could learn about and gain insight into the works they were working on, their history and inspirations. \u201cAt that moment I understood that one of the great values of art is that its works are unique, that behind them there is more than creativity and talent, which are clearly indispensable things. The stories of some of them were truly fascinating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4b0f70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f4b0f70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5216\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/beltranenadiazartcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20151211_152949526-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6170434 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6170434\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\">Con el paso de los a\u00f1os el doctor fue adquiriendo algunas obras de diferentes artistas.

Buenos vinos, bocadillos y personajes importantes e interesantes formaban parte de noches rodeadas del talento de grandes maestros, lo que me convirti\u00f3 en un visitante frecuente de los eventos\u201d comenta el Dr. Beltranena.

Disc\u00edpulo del reconocido artista y fundador del grupo vertebra en los a\u00f1os 60s, Elmar Ren\u00e9 Rojas. En ese entonces la obra fue adquirida por medio de un intercambio. Una motocicleta, tratamientos dentales y efectivo en plazos le abrieron las puertas para iniciar con lo que hoy es una de las colecciones privadas m\u00e1s numerosas del pa\u00eds. A medida que pasaron los a\u00f1os, la carrera profesional del Dr. Beltranena iba creciendo en paralelo a su relaci\u00f3n de amistad con muchos inversionistas y artistas de la regi\u00f3n.
