Alessandro Baldoni Alessandro Baldoni lives in Bocca di Magra (Spezia), a pleasant haven of serenity and beauty for artists and poets, where blue dominates in all its shades, surrounded by the green of Caprione or the intense blue of the Apuan Alps. At times, blue gives way to stormy, leaden skies that tower above the earth, alternating with a mother-of-pearl light that reflects in the river and the sea. Turner's skies. Dramatic skies. It is difficult to remain insensitive when nature offers so much, to resist the desire to capture a sensation or a vision, an emotion that arises from within, that grows and mutates together with our being. Alessandro Baldoni, son of this land, captures a world that is broader than the reality that surrounds him. He seeks to reproduce a version of it perceived according to the attention that is placed on it, but filtered by the mood of the moment, like the rebellion of the eye or of the mind to focus instead on an emotion, on some immediately preceding thought: thus, real images form the basis for images formed in the mind as memories, like in a blurry photograph.
