Biography




Lorenza Panero is a Colombian-American interdisciplinary visual artist exploring the relationship between humans and the environment. Her work centers on fleeting moments and experiences that are more sensed than seen. As such Panero creates evocative landscapes and spaces that blur the line between realism and abstraction.


Her practice is informed by the oral tradition and the written word. The volatility of translation and fluctuation of meaning resonates in the artist's installations as well as her imagery. The work focuses on place, space, and movement through time. Both the two-dimensional and spatial works suggest a world of emotional reality, rather than a literal representation of the known. In exploring potential futures of the natural and built environments, her imagery generates deep feeling and a reflection on the self. 


Panero's work is multi-layered and complex, using combined imageries 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.
