Norma Nava abstract art
This page is the first in a series of webpages in which Paintings.name tries to give an overview of the abstract arts on the Internet. Each page will be devoted to a single artist, and we couldn't have made a better and more difficult start than with the work of Argentinian artist Norma Nava. Why it's a good start is obvious - to this author however, it's also a daunting task because of the originality of Norma Nava's work, which makes it hard to classify, as well as the experience of it's maker which humbles a semi-young artist such as myself. We shall not dwell on that - let's take a look at Norma's paintings.If one browses through Norma's websites it soon becomes clear that nature is central in her work and thinking. There are drawings and photos of flowers, forests, Indians and many of her paintings are reminiscent of microscopic enhancements of cross-sections of plant- and animal cells as well as body-tissue. Some paintings seem like an artistic study into cell-biology and the visual language of fractals. All this is mixed with mesoamerican symbols and geometry in an incredibly clever way, that makes Norma Nava a great structuralist. With structuralism we mean that it's the artist's intention to fit together a painting's details such that they produce a pictorial unity. This is difficult enough when dealing with simple geometric objects such as squares, triangles, etc., but the level of complexity increases exponentially if shapes contain a degree of randomness, as is the case in nature, especially in microbiology, which seems to be a source of inspiration to Norma Nava.
And so there is the additonal problem of visualizing randomness in an artistically convincing way. Care has to be taken to realize the difference with the role that chance plays in action painting. There the artist uses mechanical techniques to depict randomness, such that the way the paint hits the canvas really is random. Randomness in a Norma Nava painting however, probably starts with a drawing, which produces a more controlled kind of randomness, since it comes forth out of the artist's judgement directly and so, while depicting randomness, it's actually entirely deliberate.The title of the first painting (above), Amazonia Distintos Canales, suggests that the Amazon river is the painting's subject-matter, but at the same time it reminds of microbiology.In the painting to the left many more mesoamerican symbols can be seen and possibly a map of an archaeological site. The safety is typical of the way Norna mixes earnesty with humor - perhaps she can be described as one of the last nonconformists in "Western" art (the quotes denote my ignorance as to whether or not Latin American should be regarded as Western - it definitely makes a European impression - or as fully independent). In daily life a certain degree of conformism is probably unavoidable, but in art it's a recipe for mediocrity.
To me the painting on the left looks like a cross-section of body-tissue with muscles and tendons. This seems like an example of Norma's quasi-abstractionism in which one wonders whether one is looking at real-life objects or not.

THE POETRY OF NORMA NAVA
Juan Antonio Cardete
Getafe-Alcorcón 9 de octubre de 2005
SPAIN
Norma Nava belongs to the lineage of the talent. A lineage certified by its multiple dedication (to the painting, the poetry, the delivery to the others) and by the originality of all its persistence. Its creative trajectory is "to walk without destiny", as it proclaims with transparent simplicity in That I want (poemario published in CD in Buenos Aires, 2004).
From its beginning, the book Dispersed Signals (published in Pontevedra, Spain, 2005, by the Factory of the poet) presents displays a determined option to us, an election of personal trip. The creation is located in a space "without space", in the territory of the dream.
In that battle against the world and the time, the object of the poem climbs far from the anecdote and raises metaphorics spheres.
That inner adventure that could fall in the sentimentality, flees from him jumping to another dimension. The heavy outline of the personal experience is replaced by the artistic emotion. In order to express desolation.
As we see, one is a medular atemporal poetry, that looks for the magma of the total life, of the most integral beauty. The poetic voice is styled to the maximum in that search of a space.
The brief verse reinforces the winged, obstinate expression to the dream. In single three words, "Inclemency i myself", gives all a vision of the world, the one to us of that has undressed of everything to flood of beauty and truth.
But poetic I it is not a loneliness voice that is taken hold to the failure like poetic blood, but who has itself with a powerful telluric force in their unit with the nature.
It is, in short, the poetry of Norma Nava like a magical, inner, cosmic tree, "tree of foot" like its thinned verse, spirit, undressing of anecdotal or denominational ballast, that appears "from the deep thing".
The time, the reality, the cruelty of the certain world is the enemies who the poetic word seems able to exorcise (although it only is in the fleeting rite of his celebration in the poem). That uncertain, dispersed verse of Norma Nava is the certificate of its multiple and original art: the painting, the poetry, the delivery to the others.
