About Paul Baldassini
Paul Baldassini paints to remind viewers of the beauty of the natural world and its serene, grounding presence. Through larger-than-life renderings of flowers, buds, and foliage, he uses scale to reveal details often overlooked. The tonalist palette of his landscapes evokes mood and mystery, drawing attention to the quiet beauty that can so easily go unnoticed.
For more than 50 years, Baldassini has been actively involved in the design and creation of artwork. Early interests in drawing and sketching evolved into a passion for watercolor and oil painting, photography, and digital image editing with the emergence of Adobe Photoshop and the graphic arts technology in the late 1980s. Alongside a professional career spanning more than three decades in graphic design, typography, pre-press, and print production, he continued to study art history and create artwork independently, outside the realm of formal education.
His artistic journey has unfolded over roughly four 12-year cycles. Each cycle informed the next, and deepened his understanding of what matters the most to him in the creation of art — history, composition, color, materials and technique. Influences include extensive visits to museums throughout the United States and Europe, collaborations with professional creative directors and photographers, and proficiency in watercolors and then oil painting. Since 2012, his work has focused on large-format realistic floral paintings inspired by the Flemish Old Masters, and later experimental tonalist landscapes that continue to evolve.
Baldassini earned a BFA in Illustration/Graphic Arts from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Massachusetts. He is a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society (NEWS) in Plymouth, Massachusetts and a member of the Lyme Art Association (LAA) in Old Lyme, Connecticut. He resides in Middletown, Connecticut, with his wife and daughter.
