Nora Valdez is an Argentine-born artist working
and exhibiting since 1977. In 1982 she graduated
from the College of Fine Arts (Mercedes San Luis,
Argentina) with the title of Professor of Fine Arts.
Her work has been exhibited in a variety of venues
in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, Japan, Canada
and the United States.
 From the beginning, Valdez has utilized sculpture and installations to create images that reflect on the nature of change, the life of the individual and the natural or societal forces that buffet our souls. While her earlier installation work explored the effects of alienation caused by various forms of repression, her stone work seeks to make more subtle comments on these concerns. Her thematic concerns are also reflected in her involvement with the community: doing public art projects and giving workshops at a variety of urban institutions. Art becomes not just a way to explore issues of human rights but to have a direct effect on them as well. |
