Cheraine Collette
About
Cheraine Collette was born in 1993 in a forest-side town in eastern the Netherlands.
At age 12, she began experimenting with one of the earliest Photoshop suites (CS1), along with a digital painting tablet and brush, both introduced by her father. She instantly used it to paint, layer, and manipulate her photographs.
She finished her education in photographic design at the Fotovakschool, the University of Applied Photography, in 2015 and worked under the pseudonym of LORLEON® until early 2020. Then, she continued her series and works under her name, Cheraine Collette.
Cheraine’s work was published by NG China Traveler twice in 2020 and featured in FORBES, My Modern Met, National Geographic, The Wallace Collection Museum, and many more. She has received over 300 prestigious juried international awards and honors since her first participation in 2019, immediately winning 1st place at the IPA and including two Golden Pangea Trophies at the prestigious Siena Awards and ‘Fine Art Photographer Of The Year’ from world-renowned institutions for her Photographic paintings and books.
Cheraine focuses on the untamed beauty of national parks, dramatic vistas, and the architectural splendor of Europe’s Palace of Volcanic Islands. This extensive journey to collect her visual materials is followed by a rigorous process of merging photographs from diverse locations into cohesive artworks using traditional painting methods.
