Jean-Pierre BALDINI French, b. 1949

• 1949: Born in Cannes, France

• 1968: At 19 year's old, 1st exhibition at the Town Hall of Arles, France.

• 1968 - 1984: During 17 years, he developed an original technique that freed him from the constraints inherent in wood, stone and plaster sculpture.

• 1985: It is bronze becoming his favorite material, which will allow him to perpetuate research in his quest to obtain ever more independence from matter.

• Since 1985 up to today: Jean-Pierre Baldini creates limited series with each time a specific theme mainly inspired from nature, like like "Air", "Earth", "Feather", "Trace". Each of these periods are identified by an original conceptual argument which inevitably influences the form without however prohibiting a minimum of continuity.

Over 50 years Jean-Pierre Baldini made nearly 300 bronze sculptures in themes of 25 series every 2-3 years that mark the strong personality of this artist. He is always inspired by the nature, various fondamental elements of life, leading to beautiful series like  "Earth", "Fire", "Air", "Water", "Rhythm", "Feather", "Shadow", "Trace", "Fracture", etc...

Prestigious places have welcomed his work: the UN in Geneva, the Château de Biron, the Senate in Paris, Saint Martin de Boschervillem, the Athenaeum Palace in Geneva... The recognition of his peers and the public is attested by multiple institutional orders, numerous national and international exhibitions. He is present in several private collections of great reputation. To this day, the quest continues...
