Sergio Baldieri - Maternity

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). It is quite common for contemporary artists (as in this case) to treat the iconography of motherhood without directly linking it to the Christian religion, but rather transfiguring it into a realistic vision featuring simple people.

In this painting, Sergio Baldieri confirms his stylistic prerogatives. He consistently seeks to synthesize the subject through bold black strokes, and the forms are filled with dense, compact areas of color. However, this work is distinguished by a certain tendency to seek volume. The figure of the mother, in particular, is characterized by a monumental plasticity that makes her image even more iconic and expressive.

Sergio Baldieri is a 20th-century painter with an eclectic spirit and a penchant for experimentation. Sergio Baldieri's artistic language is aimed at synthesizing phenomenal reality. The world is reduced to a minimalist version, where the artist's gestural and instinctive brushstrokes take center stage. On a two-dimensional surface, Baldieri delineates the forms of his subjects with a nervous brushstroke. A form is delineated with just a few lines and a few traces of color. Even when it comes to color, Baldieri selects anti-naturalistic chromatic palettes, intended to further enhance the expressiveness of the painting.
