Didier
Lourenco was born in 1968 in Premia del Mar, Barcelona.
At the age of 19 he began to work in his father's
print studio, where he learned the art of lithography.
He began to paint on paper and canvas, taking over
a small corner of the studio.
In 1988 he had his first solo exhibition at Vilassar
de Dalt, and printed his first lithographic edition.
He dedicated himself solely to painting in the corner
of his father's studio, where he had created his own
mini-studio.The
corner was open to various visiting artists. Not only
was the gaze of the artists directed towards Lourenco's
works, but Lourenco's gaze was directed at the works
of these visiting artists. This would be his education
in the world of painting.
Lourenco
was awarded Second Prize at the XXXIII Premio de Pintura
Joven de la Sala Pares de Barcelona. He also participated
in some group shows in Barcelona and Valencia. In
1992 Lourenco won the Premios Talentos of the XXXIV
Premio de Pintura Joven de la Sala Pares de Barcelona.
He had his first solo show at the Galeria Art Dama
de Calafell. He also participated in numerous group
shows. In addition, he had solo exhibitions at the
Vayreda de Barcelona, Gasto Sala d'Art de Terrassa,
Sala Rebull de Reus, Galeria Susany de Vic and at
the Minerva Galeria d'Art de Mataro.
In 1995, Lourenco left his corner in his father's
studio and moved into his own studio in Premia del
Mar, Barcelona. His solo shows continued, and in-between
the studio and the shows, he traveled with his friends
and painters Moscardo and Praga to the north of Italy.
His days are full of travel and exhibitions. His solo
and collective shows continue, and he travels to Paris,
Lisbon and New York, where he continually gains inspiration
for more of his glorious oil paintings.
