Influenced by the modern art movements and the research of post-war contemporary ceramics, he explores organic forms, often modeled by hand, and complex textures playing with light and material. His works, sometimes unique, combine technical mastery and expressive spontaneity. Although little publicized, Pierre Baey is appreciated by collectors for the authenticity and the plastic strength of his pieces, which are part of the tradition of French art workshops.
