Joseph Camilleri, Ghawdex Illum, Program 23, Series 32, Review of “STANCE”
“The artist’s execution of the work reflect the emotional instances of the moment such as happiness and pleasure along with chromatic variety of the change in light. Sometimes these instances are so fast and immediate that the paint is used with certain intensity, excitement and fervor, enthusiasm and aggressive energy. This technique of vivid and bright strong colours reminds us of the fauvists the like of Andre Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck and Louis Valtat.”

“Norma’s panels are bursting with the local colours, vibrant hues that do not get dulled down – black does not feature in Norma’s palette. She is an active member of the local artistic community and has already exhibited on the island. She finds that the locals appreciate her work, and when she sells her paintings to them it is because they elicit memories of childhood, life events and the everyday for them.”
Grech, K., Mar 2020, Review of “STANCE” exhibition Beewise After the Event blog
“It delights with its variety of landscapes and still lifes. “
“ Norma carefully brings to life varied moods…executing them with strong brush strokes, with the colour often applied in thick impasto.” “we can link her paintings with our stories.”
