L'energia del minuscolo e dei dettagli: ecco cosa trasmettono le opere di Barruchello fatte di arcipelaghi di pensieri, di forme, di particolari. Militante, poeta, cineasta, pittore... decisamente una figura non classificabile, Baruchello fa parte di quella generazione  di artisti (è nato nel 1924) per i quali l'arte è sopra ogni cosa una forma di vita, nel suo caso, un bolide sperimentale lanciato sulle strade dell'esistenza. I campi delle sperimentazioni artistiche di Baruchello sono molteplici ed i loro impatti evidenti sui movimenti artistici post-moderni.
Il pulviscolo di micro dettagli delle sue opere va contro tutto ciò che è massivo: il suo pensiero frammentato che fa da commentario al libro della modernità costituisce un durevole passaggio alla contemporaneità. The energy in the minuscule and in the attention to detail: this is what the works of Barruchello transmit with their archipelagos of thought, shape and particulars. Militant, poet, filmmaker, painter, the artist is a figure that is hard to classify. Baruchello is part of that generation of artists - he was born in 1924 - for whom art is above all a form of life, in his case, an experimental fire launched on the roads of existence. The diverse fields of Baruchello's artistic experiments are manifold and their evident impacts on post-modern artistic movements.
The micro details in his works goes against all that is large: his fragmented thought is a commentary on the book of modernity which constitutes a lasting transition to the contemporary.
