It is possible to detect influences of Picasso and Tamayo in the features of the paintings of Hugo Alfonso Barajas, but it is also possible to discover in his style of the traces of expressionism and hyperrealism.

His brushes produce the same explosion of colors of blood as Rembrandt to us, as well as the dark colors used by the engraver Goya.

The talent of a creator consists in transforming these influences in a clean style, insubstituable, it consists to take them and re-use them without decency.

Hugo Barajas succeeds in forging a personal work, by putting in his compositions subtleties of the avant guardists and reinventing at the same time the symbols of everyday life.

There is in his brush expression which exceeds the flat academism of some, but there is also accomplished technique. His esthetics do not seek to be decorative, and tradition does not limit him as it does other painters. The paintings of Barajas grab the attention of the spectator; they are not simply decor to combine with furniture and curtains, but are testimonies and symptoms of a long pilgrimage.
