Baruj Salinas Art statement
In that sense Baruj uses color and all its intense chromatism as a channel or filter (in the manner of alchemists) to distill a world of a romantic nature, but of a romanticism closer to Turner than to Corot. That which Novalis called "the adoration of chaos" was based in his belief that "the more impenetrable was the chaos, so much more splendid was the star that would come out of it".
After seeing the storm scenes of Turner, where color invades all, I can think that Baruj has found in the cosmic explosions of his colors the original chaos that allows the recovery of, as Jose Kozer tells us, “a fundamental harmony”.
