Beltrán Masses comenzó su carrera pintando paisajes y composiciones figurativas. Posteriormente pintaría sólo retratos. Aunque es evidente en su obra la influencia de los maestros españoles, el artista desarrolló un estilo propio con un sabor decididamente moderno. Es característico en sus pinturas el uso de tonos azul profundo, su favorito, que llegó a ser conocido como "Azul Beltrán".
