Royale Belleville (b. Paris, France) is a visual artist living and working in Amsterdam. Drawing on a background as a firefighter, his practice explores the symbolic and emotional dimensions of fire as a recurring motif.

Working primarily with oil on canvas, Belleville creates carefully composed interior spaces confronted by the presence of fire at their thresholds. Windows, frames, and architectural boundaries become devices through which danger is observed, contained, or held at a distance. His work investigates the tension between serenity and chaos, safety and exposure.

Through series such as Alpha Burner, Interiors, and Chambre avec Vue, Belleville examines fire as both a physical force and a psychological presence that is at once destructive and transformative. His paintings invite reflection on vulnerability, detachment, and resilience, offering quiet, suspended moments where catastrophe is visible but unresolved.

In 2010, he established Studio Inferno III, a creative framework bringing together his artistic practice with design and collaborative projects, providing both a conceptual identity and a professional foundation.
