Lorena Kloosterboer

Lorena Kloosterboer is a Dutch-Argentine artist (born Alkmaar Netherlands, 1962) who paints using trompe-l'œil, hyperrealism, and photorealistic styles, often creating the illusion of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface.

[2][3][8][9] Kloosterboer painting subjects include a wide variety of objects like colorful candies, marbles, shells, silverware, glass and ceramics.

During the following years Kloosterboer also created a commissioned series of four bronze sculptures popularly known as De Boomstronken (The Tree Trunks), which are on public display in Wassenaar.

[13][14][15] Kloosterboer's artwork has been favourably reviewed and included among other artists in a book on the history of women painters in the Low Countries[20][21] authored by Art Historian Professor Katlijne van der Stighelen.

[23] Also, some of her realist paintings were included in Acrylic Artist's Guide to Exceptional Colour (by Lexi Sundell) chosen to illustrate fundamental aspects of color such as temperature, intensity and brightness.
