REPRESENTATIONAL OIL PAINTING
Natural Impressions of Light and Color
VIEW COLLECTION
Norma Torti is an oil painter in the Boston School Impressionist tradition. Her representational paintings combine inviting compositions and accurate drawing with emphasis on full color and light to create atmosphere in her paintings. Living in New England her whole life and her interest in art history, specifically the Boston School impressionist painters of the early 1900s, influence her choice of subjects and style of painting.
Norma exhibits her work at
Sidoti Fine Art Gallery, Rockport, MA ,
Acacia Coll Gallery, Meredith, NH, and
The White Barn, Essex, MA.
Revealing and sharing the truth about the beauty and goodness around me is why I create art. Every day I feel a childlike freedom as I observe colors, textures, and contrasts of simple things, especially in nature. I love to transform an empty canvas into a full impression of my subjects in living color. It is more than the mechanics of painting or drawing; it touches me spiritually when I see the image slowly coming to light.
I am committed to perpetuating the historical painting and drawing practices of artists from the early 20th century, particularly the Boston School Impressionists, with contemporary subjects. The subjects I choose and the atmospheric style of my work invite people into each piece where they may connect to their own experience.
