| My flowers,
landscapes, and oceans exude a radiance that is derived not only
from vision, but from my entire sensory experience of nature. This
radiance is acute; taking me to an edge—an edge at which I attempt
to comprehend the riotous abundance of nature. My luminous color
comes from energizing the color mass with rhythmic line. Connection
with the spiritual timelessness beauty in the flux of matter and
flow of light is at the heart of my paintings.

America, “What
a nature painter must do is to impose some human logic or private
poetry on the natural world. By this measure Baragona is a very
interesting painter.” To contact artist e-mail
