Baruj Salinas (La Habana, 1935) pintor, escultor, grabador y ceramista cubano de origen judío, nació en La Habana, Cuba en 1935. La carrera de Salinas se inició en el campo de la arquitectura. Se graduó de la Universidad de Ohio con un título de arquitecto y emigró de Cuba a Miamia, Fla. de forma permanente en 1959. Salinas estableció en Miami y más tarde se trasladó a Barcelona, donde estudió junto a artistas Joan Miró y Antoni Tàpies. Aunque la arquitectura informó a sus primeros trabajos, poco a poco se trasladó hacia una expresión puramente abstracta. Su obra se asemeja a cuadros de espacio, donde el color es más importante que la forma y la misma se convierte en un tema principal. Hay rastros, también, de las tradiciones judías, pero haber nacido en Cuba ha hecho su impacto. Para él, Cuba es el trópico y la caña de azúcar, también es el sol y la luz. Él nunca dejará de ser cubano. Las pinturas de Salina se puede ver en las colecciones importantes de todo el mundo, como la Fundación Joan Miró, de Barcelona, el Museo Nacional de Catalunya, Barcelona, el Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, México DF, el Uri Museo Beit, Israel, el Museo de Fort Lauderdale de las Artes, Florida, el Museo de Bellas Artes, Budapest, el Instituto de Arte de Chicago y el Museo de Arte de Phoenix, Arizona.
Baruj Salinas (Havana, 1935) Cuban painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramicist of Jewish origin, was born in Havana, Cuba in 1935. Salinas’s career began in the field of architecture. He graduated from Ohio University with an architecture degree and immigrated from Cuba to Miami, Fla. permanently in 1959. Salinas settled in Miami and later moved to Barcelona, where he studied alongside artists Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies. Although architecture informed his early work, he gradually moved towards a purely abstract expression. His work resembles paintings of space, where color is more important than form and form becomes a main theme. There are traces, too, of Jewish traditions, but being born in Cuba has made its impact. For him, Cuba is the tropics and the sugar cane, it is also the sun and the light. He will never stop being Cuban. Salina’s paintings can be seen in important collections around the world, such as the Joan Miró Foundation, Barcelona, the National Museum of Catalonia, Barcelona, the National Institute of Fine Arts, Mexico City, the Uri Beit Museum, Israel, the Fort Lauderdale Museum of the Arts, Florida, the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona.
