1968 - 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. In 1995, Lourenco left his corner in his father's studio and moved into his own studio in Premia del Mar, Barcelona. His had many solo shows, and in-between the studio and the shows, he traveled with his brothers and painters Moscardo and Praga to the north of Italy. Lourenco's 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.
