Born in Argentina. Artistic studies (Visual Arts and Music), performed in Argentina. Improvisations of a concert of jazz images. Observing the works of Norma Durè a curiosity is undertaken that I could define as exploratory. It is immediately visible that the digital experience for the artist, whilst being structured through distinctive personal signs, is a world without borders,a move beyound the traditional means of painting to launch a use of media which allows continuously evolving narratives and research. His pictorial world is a conquest over a freedom of expression which is both formal and an interaction between concepts that intersect other disciplines. One which goes beyond the boundaries of fhe known to explore new and unlimited experiments and conceptual and stylistic influences. In his works there is the echo of distant music with elegant and dynamic signs which make you dance, animating the works of an artist who does not escape new horizons of creativity. Concentric flights of graphic symbols are gestures that create fast intervals of space, patterns of intersections of noteable figures originating from diverse climates. These are often characterized by a chromatic scenic sloping in the backgrounds. In the works of the artist the search for the music scores of a soul is awakened which, though once stylistic abstraction, recalls naturalistic memories. The colors provide speech to fast forms of musical time and the symbols continue to liberate themselves through memories. Sometimes aggressive, sometimes quiet; as if searching a reconciliation of inner tensions. Narratives of memories of the East, seemingly mysterious, that leave their mark in a game of few expressive colors, become a concert of improvisations of jazz images. (Federica Murgia, July 9; 2014). Improvvisazioni di un concerto d'immagini jazz. Osservando le opere di Norma Durè è presi da una curiosità che potrei definire esplorativa. E immediatamente visibile che l'esperienza digitale per l'artista, pur essendo strutturata in personali segni distintivi, è un mondo senza confini, un andare oltre i tradizionali mezzi della pittura per avviarsi all'uso dei media che consentono narrazioni e ricerche sempre nuove.
