Lorenzo De Bruin

My name is Lorenzo de Bruin born and raised in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.I am a professional illustrator and I started painting in 2009.My style of work is realistic. I have been inspired by my father, The old masters, and Henk Helmantel (Dutch painter).I paint portraits of people, animals and still life paintings in oilpaint on canvas and panel.

My late father, Painter/Artist Kok de Bruin passed on his endless enthusiasm and artistic talent which I discovered for myself at an early age.After having completed a degree at the Grafhic Design College in Rotterdam I started my career at an advertising agency. Two years later I decided to reclaim my creative freedom and now look back on 20 years of experience as a freelance illustrator collaborating with publishers and ad agencies.,
