Braulio Salazar (1917–2008) was a Venezuelan painter.

Biography

Salazar was born on 23 December 1917 in Valencia.[1] His first exhibition took place in 1935. As he suffered from hemotitis, doctors banned him from using chemical products. This lead him to make up his own colours with earth, vegetables and other natural substances as his other compatriot, Armando Reverón, used to do.

Salazar was arts teacher at the Pedro Gual high school, at the Simón Rodríguez schoon and at the School of Plastic Arts Arturo Michelena. He also was the head of the Art Workshop at the Department of Humanities in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Carabobo.

He obtained the National Prize of Plastic Arts of Venezuela in 1976. He won the Arturo Michelena Prize, the most prestigious arts prize in Venezuela, in 1948 and 1963.

The Museum of Modern Arts of Valencia is named after him.

Braulio José Salazar Sánchez (Valencia, Carabobo, 23 de diciembre de 1917 - Valencia, 26 de diciembre de 2008) fue un artista plástico y docente venezolano. Entusiasta de su ciudad natal, llegó a declarar que: «He tratado, en mi obra, de universalizar a mi ciudad, a Valencia; primero con su río Cabriales y después con sus personajes y su paisaje que me es tan afecto y tan querido».[1] En 1976 obtuvo el Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas y en 1985, la Galería de Arte Nacional de Venezuela presentó una antología de sus obras.
