Enjoy the works of this great artist from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Hugo Barajas was always drawing as a small child growing up in Guadalajara, displaying remarkable skill as soon as he could grab a crayon or pencil. He actually began doing oil paintings on canvas when he was only seven years old.
Barajas acknowledges influences by the late Mexican master, Rufino Tamayo, and by Pablo Picasso. However, although some of his work shows “cubist” tendencies, Hugo prefers to call his style, “Constructivism,” which includes art, psychology and philosophy with its most basic tenant captured in the phrase, “Reality is an interpretation of the observer.” More specifically, Hugo´s perspective is of working on different levels of the visual matrix and accentuating that by limiting himself to the primary colors and black and white. Barajas has always tried to push himself to explore as many options as possible to express his artistic vision. To this day he is noted for his diversity in techniques and materials used in creating his paintings and sculptures, the later including, cast bronze, fired clay, welded steel, fused glass and sometimes a combination of some or all of those.
