Jury report

“Lorena has her very own way to manipulate everyday reality. She detaches ordinary utensils from their original contexts and turns them into the subject of her work. She has a highly developed eye for detail and a fine aesthetic sense. Because of this, she manages to genuinely re-present her fascination for the beauty of small ordinary things, that are often overlooked in our hectic times. Her personal outlook, coloured by her background, enables her to create her own world full of new narratives – a world of tranquil scenes allowing the viewer to truly observe the many things we tend to take for granted.

Lorena has a thoroughly professional attitude and is very much aware of her own work. She is not unfamiliar with ambition. The jury is impressed with the passionate and perseverant attitude she displays. According to the jury, artist and work have now reached a point where introspection and experiment are called for. Regarding both her work and her own position, Lorena demonstrates a need and a capacity for research and growth. The jury recognizes the quality of her current work and believes in the potential of this artist.”

Uitzonderlijk jaar

Er werd een feestelijk alternatief prijsevenement georganiseerd in overeenstemming met de coronamaatregelen, waarbij de winnaars één voor één werden verrast met hulp van familieleden en dansprofessionals.

In de editie van dit jaar, die anders was dan andere jaren, werden ook alle nominaties bekroond met een prijs. Onder de genomineerden van de categorie schilderkunst, onze alumni Ciro Duclos en Afra Eisma.
