• 1949: Born in Cannes, France
• 1966: First steps on wood sculpture with Almela, a sculptor of Spanish origin.
At the same time, he studied the Beaux-Arts in Nîmes.
• 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.
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.

A New Theme Every 2 Years
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. -
"And There Was Writing..."
-
2021 - 2022: THE NEW SERIES
In the beginning was the word...And the word took form. Just as sculpture translates the fleetingness of an emotion into volume... -
"Reflection / Reflet"
-
2021 Series: Mirror, Mirror, Who am I ?
"The theme of reflection, abundantly treated in painting, especially during the Renaissance,
has largely remained foreign to sculpture.
If the principle has long been acquired by me,
it was only recently that I was able to concretize it in bronze and this in part thanks to scanning and 3D printing techniques.
Here is the passage from the intention in plaster to the realization in bronze.…"

"Fracture"
-
2016 Series : The Stone
A character is confronted with a “landscape” treated in a hyper-realistic way.
On a broken wall, a shattered rock, or a plank that breaks, the character comes to rest and interacts with the environment. The atmosphere of this landscape and the attitude of the characters are the basis of the particularity of these sculptures.
-
"TRACE"
-
Publiction of the book "TRACE" (2015)
Writed by Gérard Pons & Hervé Hôte
Dialogue between a poet and a sculptor,
"TRACE" questions in a sensitive way the imprint that each can leave on this earth.
-
"Shadow / Ombre"
-
2015 Series : Isn't the Shadow a Trace?
Naturally ephemeral and immaterial.
Baldini masters here this flattening of the signifier of his characters and brings a nuance to the reading of the sculpture.

2011 Series: Feather
Imagine a feather planted in a soap bubble…
This is what Baldini wants us to feel.
Made of bronze, the feather touches a glass bubble.
Even a little more lightness!
By using the aesthetic and mechanical qualities of different frosted resins,
Baldini offers another look at this theme.
