Florus "Flor" Silvester (30 August 1923 in Rotterdam – 2 December 2008 in Dordrecht),[1] sometimes spelled as Silvestre,[2][3] was a Dutch graphic designer, illustrator, painter, and sculptor.[4] Silverster's designs won him the Eurostar for packaging and the Golden Nut.[4][5] He designed and illustrated many Dutch books and designed some classic posters.[3][6]

Flor Silvester studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy, then known as the Volksindustrieschool or the Rotterdamse Academie. Among his teachers were Aart Glansdorp, David Bautz, and Kees van Roemburg.[5] Flor Silvester lived in Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht. In H.I. Ambacht his studio was in his home on the Reeweg.

Flor played the trombone[7] in several bands. In 1995 he participated in the 25th Jazz Festival of Breda.[7]
