Guy Baldovi has spent extended time in North and West Africa, Mexico and other parts of the world. His world travels and music, which is always playing while he paints, have been influential on his painting. Self taught, Guy has been painting for almost 20 years. He has experimenting with various mediums from sculpture to different painting techniques. He has used oil paint, acrylic paint and for the past six years he is painting with wax. Wax, or encaustic, is his favorite medium. The sensuality and richness of the wax allows him to be freer in his artistic expressions. He feels he can get closer to what he is looking for when he is painting, being himself, using his mind at full capacity and not forgetting that it is all about having fun. One of his favorite quotes by Rene Magritte is: "Each thing we see hides something else we want to see." Guy's paintings are are layered with visual images one wants to see.
