This article examines the concept of the baroque in the works of philosopher Bolvar Echeverra. Not only does it present an exegesis of the concept of Echeverra's vision of the baroque, but it also problematizes the central categories on which Echeverra focuses in his discussions surrounding the baroque. This paper proposes that neither the distinction between use-value and exchange value, nor the idea of the baroque as an aestheticization of life are productive when attempting to understand the concept of the baroque. In the same vein, this paper discusses baroque fetishism and the underlying implications of associating the baroque with use-value. Finally, it challenges the absence of a concept of baroque power in Bolvar Echeverria's works, as well as the limited readings that his category of mestizaje allows when interpreting the andean baroque
