Lorenza Panero is a Colombian-American visual artist whose work explores the relationship between humans and their environment. Her work focuses on capturing fleeting moments and experiences that are typically unseen and intangible. By doing so, Panero creates evocative landscapes that blur the line between realism and abstraction.

Her practice is informed by language both spoken and written. The volatile nature of translation and meanings in flux are soundly included in Panero’s multimedia environments and imagery. Her work speaks of the idea of place, and movement through time. In painting and luminography she creates a world that depicts a geography of emotional reality, rather than a literal representation of the physical world. By exploring possible futures of both the natural and built environments, the imagery generates tension between the identifiable and the abstract. Her methodology combines performative methods to manipulate the elements of change and inertia that shape our experiences.

Panero's work is multi-layered and complex, using both identifiable and abstract imagery to create intimate landscapes and spiritual geographies that challenge our perceptions of reality. Her work is held in high esteem in private and public art collections, and she divides her time between her studios in Bogota and New York.
