I'm a painter Juan Antonio Barajas heir to the magic of color and joy of Mexican folklore. In 1969 I had the joy of Mexican birth and I have taken this passion for the customs of my country through my work, giving form and color to my emotions and light filling each memory. I am originally self-taught and have had the opportunity to participate in numerous international exhibitions, the media dominate different plastic and able to develop any topic allowed me to place my work in different parts of the world.
