norma: NORMA WAS BORN IN HONDURAS AND SPENT HER YOUTH IN THE UNIVERSITY TOWN OF SALAMANCA, SPAIN WHERE SHE DEVELOPED A PASSION FOR THE BAROQUE AND ROMANTIC PAINTINGS SO ABUNDANT IN THE AREA. AFTER RETIREMENT, SHE BEGAN TO PAINT AND PARTICIPATE IN WORKSHOPS. THE USE OF VIVID COLORS AND TEXTURES GIVE HER PAINTINGS LUMINOSITY REMINISCENT OF SOME OF THE ARTISTS SHE MOST ADMIRES LIKE BOUGUEREAU , VELÁZQUEZ AND ESTEBAN MURILLO, WHILE HER STILL LIFE CAPTURES A MORE CONTEMPORARY REALISM. NORMA IS AN AMBITIOUS SELF-TAUGHT PAINTER WHO WILL NEVER LIMIT HER SUBJECT MATTER, HER TECHNIQUES AND HER STYLE. " A MAN WHO WORKS WITH HER HANDS IS A LABORER, A MAN WHO WORKS WITH HIS HANDS AND HIS BRAIN IS AN ARTISAN, BUT A MAN WHO WORKS WITH HIS HANDS AND HIS BRAIN AND HIS HEART IS AN ARTIST".
