Lourenco was awarded Second Prize at the XXXIII Premio de Pintura Joven de la Sala Pares de Barcelona. This would be his education in the world of painting. 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. The corner was open to various visiting artists. He dedicated himself solely to painting in the corner of his father`s studio, where he had created his own mini-studio.

In 1988 Lourenco had his first solo exhibition at Vilassar de Dalt,Spain, and printed his first lithographic edition. Lourenco began to paint on paper and canvas, taking over a small corner of the studio. At the age of 19 he began to work in his father`s print studio, where he learned the art of lithography.

Didier Lourenco was born in 1968 in Premia del Mar, Barcelona. The pages are enriched with photographs of the artist and insights into his work. All 100 pages of the book contain full-color images of Lourenco`s paintings and images straight from the pages of his personal sketchbooks.
