Didier Lourenço

Didier Lourenço was born in Premià de Mar, Barcelona. At the age of 19 he began working in his father's lithography atelier where he learned the trade of lithography. In 1988 Didier made a corner of the atelier a place for painting on canvas and paper. He shared his time between painting and printing lithographs for himself and professional artists. That year he presented his first individual show and also edited his first collection of lithographies.

In 1991 Lourenço won a prestigious prize for young artists making a breakthrough into many galleries throughout Spain. Lourenço moved into his own studio in 1995 where he would devote himself to painting, but he never stopped making lithographs.
 

A prestigious publisher and distributor of posters took his work worldwide in 2000. This global presence quickly sparked the interest of galleries and collectors. Didier traveled around the world to his solo exhibits in places including New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, New Orleans, Nashville, South Africa, Las Vegas, Miami, and Singapore.
