Beginning

Born in Cannes, France, Baldini began his training in 1966 under the Spanish sculptor Almela. [4] He furthered his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes. In 1966 was his first steps on wood sculpture with Almela, a sculptor of Spanish origin.

Artistic Style

Baldini’s work often explores the tension between static art and dynamic movement. [5] While his early career involved wood and stone, [6] he transitioned primarily to bronze in 1985 to better achieve independence from the constraints of the material. [7] Every two to three years, he introduces a new series based on specific themes, such as "Air," "Earth," "Feather," "Shadow," and "Fracture". Much of his work is a tribute to the mystery and grace of femininity, often portrayed through sensual, curved lines. His sculptures frequently involve modular elements or "shadows" that interact with the main subject, such as the Les Petits Palabres series.
