About

Cheraine Collette was born in 1993, in a forest-side town in the east of the Netherlands.

From the age of 12, she started experimenting with one of the earliest Photoshop suites (CS1), accompanied by a digital painting tablet and brush, which were all 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 of Cheraine Collette.

Cheraine’s work has been published by NG China Traveler twice in 2020 and is featured by FORBES, My Modern Met, National Geographic, The Wallace Collection Museum, and many more. She 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's focus is on the untamed beauty of national parks, the dramatic vistasands, and the architectural splendor of Europe’s Palace of Volcanic Isls. This extensive journey to collect her visual materials is followed by a rigorous process of merging these photographs from diverse locations into cohesive artworks through the use of traditional painting methods.
