Biography

Baruj Salinas

Cuba, 1935
Baruj Salinas, a Cuban-born artist, relocated to Barcelona at a young age, where he resided for a significant portion of his life. During his time in Barcelona, Salinas had the opportunity to encounter influential figures in the art world, such as Joan Miró and Alexander Calder. These encounters, along with the surrounding artistic milieu, played a pivotal role in shaping Salinas's artistic trajectory. Initially rooted in a realistic style, Salinas gradually found himself immersed in the vibrant and evolving abstract art movements of the mid-20th century. The impact of these movements led him to transition towards an expressive-abstract style, characterized by textured surfaces and dynamic brushwork. In his artistic journey, Salinas consciously detached his work from any direct references to reality, allowing his compositions to exist as self-contained expressions of artistic freedom and emotion. For Salinas, painting serves as a medium of self-expression, devoid of specific concepts or ideologies. His artistic practice centers around the exploration of form, color, and composition, seeking to create a visual language that resonates with viewers on an emotional level. Fueled by an unwavering commitment to his craft, Salinas dedicates himself to the continuous development and refinement of his paintings. In his creative process, Salinas tirelessly works on his artworks, investing time and effort until he achieves a sense of balance and harmony. It is at this point that he recognizes the interplay of materials and composition, perceiving a cohesive unity within his work. The process of achieving this harmonious state becomes an intrinsic part of Salinas's artistic journey, as he navigates the complexities of form and expression. Baruj Salinas's artistic evolution from realism to expressive abstraction is a testament to his adaptability and openness to artistic exploration. His dynamic and textured artworks stand as a testament to the power of self-expression, transcending the limitations of concepts and ideologies. Through his continuous dedication to his craft, Salinas seeks to create works that resonate with viewers, evoking emotions and inviting them to experience the visual harmony he has achieved within his compositions.
