Lorena Darea

I'm Lorena, an artist working under the name Lory. I specialize in hyperrealistic drawings and paintings, using graphite, charcoal, white pencil on black paper and mixed media to explore light, contrast and emotion. My work ranges from detailed portraits to dramatic, cinematic scenes where a single splash of color or a glowing light source becomes the focus.

I'm drawn to quiet, suspended moments: a closed-eyed face, a lone figure under the moon. I build each piece slowly, layer by layer, until light seems to emerge from the paper itself.

I share my creative process on my YouTube channel, Lori Vision, where you can watch my drawings come to life. Alongside my fine art, I also write and illustrate coloring books under my imprint, Hidden Line Studio. Every original artwork is one of a kind and hand-signed.
