I first came to know Boldi, the artist and his art on a hot summer’s day in 2011. Enrico Pezzica, a collector interested in both our works introduced us when they visited my studio in Molicciara, Italy.

When I first saw his work I sensed that the shapes of his sculpture disclosed a balance between reason and emotion. Sculpting human figures reveals not only their true form but also expresses the emotions of the artist. The subtle harmony of fantasy and reason indicates both the maturity and creativity of the artist.

According to Henri Matisse we prefer rationality over the emotions to create the perfect equilibrium.
The Hungarian sculptor’s work shows this balance in its simple clean lines. During the creative process the aim of the artist is to present the essence of his values in a manner both simple and full of integrity. Boldi’s art does not approach the human form from a psychological perspective but rather with respect and caring for all the creatures of nature. It expresses his spirit encouraging the desire to touch its finely crafted & chiselled planes and to appreciate how the light plays on each surface.
His sculptures show sensitivity to the world around him and how he can express his dreams and vision.

As Friedrich Holderlin (1770 – 1843) put it  „Oh man is a God when he dreams and a beggar when he thinks”.

After Boldi asked me to write some thoughts, I closed my eyes to remember his sculptures. It was like analysing a film very slowly and carefully, where the successive frames all tell a single story: the artist’s inner dream.
