Peace exists, everywhere and in every being.
To say that we must create peace is like saying we must create silence. In order to experience the benefits of silence we must eliminate noise. In terms of peace, noise is anything that distracts us from our nature, that which ultimately sustains and nurtures all beings, lov e.
art Bio
E is of Ukrainian/Polish/French decent. He was born in Paris, France (1965), however, from the age of two he was raised by his single mother in Grenwich Village (New York City). In 1980 the two relocated to Hollywood, California. There, Baronsky attended high school and later university, where he studied film production and music composition, with a minor in philosophy. His mother passed away shortly after receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1986. This marked the beginning of his quest to travel the world in an attempt to better understand the universal nature of being.
A couple of years later, he resettled in Los Angeles to pursue his earlier ambitions of filmmaking. There he worked up the industry ranks, eventually becoming a documentary / television commercial Producer and Director. In 1992, however, he returned to France, fueled with a renewed desire to rediscover his family roots and culture. Shortly after arriving, he applied and was accepted at the Conservatoire National de Music in Strasbourg. There, he lived in a picturesque farmhouse along the Rhein River, where he concentrated on studying the works of Wagner and Chopin. This period greatly influenced many of his original compositions, and it continues to do the same for his mostly landscape-inspired, dream-like paintings and photography.
Baronsky's psyche later shifted, causing him to revisit the United States. An opportunity to start a design and production firm was presented to him during his stay, and so the planned short trip evolved into a more significant venture. He took the chance to alter his professional music interest and proceeded to grow a highly successful, multi-national creative company that serviced the advertising and theme park industries. The jet-setting pace ended abruptly, however, when a nearly fatal scuba diving accident caused him to reflect on his life's path. In 2006, a sequence of other profound events caused him to take a sabbatical. During this introspective period, he realized an inner need that was greater than achieving the proverbial "American Dream".
In 2007 Baronsky returned to Paris. There he fervently began studying art on his own, with other local artists and at the renowned L'Académie de la Grande Chaumière while developing much inspiration from the master oeuvres of Turner, Miro Poliakoff, de Staël, de Kooning, Eugène Leroy, Joan Mitchell, Rothko, and Zao Wu Ki.

He produced for clients such as Boeing; JVC; Mitsubishi Energy; Yamaha Watercraft; Purina; Re/Max; AT&T; SeaWorld Adventure Parks and others.
Born in Paris, France and raised in the United States, Eric holds dual citizenship and is bilingual. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and a Minor in Music and Philosophy from Loyola Marymount University, he also attended the National Conservatoire de Region de Strasbourg where he continued studies in music composition.
From 1993-98, Eric designed and managed the animation-recording studio, Blupka Productions, Inc. He worked with all major Hollywood talent agencies and supervised the casting, directing and recording of such hit animated TV series as: "Men In Black"; "Ghostbusters"; "The Tick” and "Jumanji".

He was in charge of art direction, eight figure budgets, leading a staff of twelve and up to one hundred fifty part-time employees. Trade affiliations included AICP, TEA & IAAPA.
In 2002, Mr. Baron’s company delivered “R.L. Stine’s Haunted Lighthouse” a formidable 3D/4D large format (70mm) attraction, produced for Busch Entertainment Corporation a division of Anheuser Busch Companies, Inc.
New opportunities then shifted from film production to conceptual design proposals for location-based attractions in the US and China, including SeaWorld Adventure Parks (San Diego), Ocean Park (Hong Kong), Phoenix Gardens (Ningbo China) and others.
Increasing interest in international land development caused Eric to restructure and form Baron Marketing Group, Inc. in 2004.

Concurrently, other types of representation opportunities unfolded.
Legendary Heavyweight Boxing Champion Evander Holyfield became a client for whom Eric negotiated his life-story book deal (Becoming Holyfield: A Fighter's Journey), along with endorsements and business affairs.
