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.
