Joaquim Lourenço

Joaquim Lourenço was born in Mozambique and has long since been living in his beloved Lisbon, Portugal where he also has his studio. As an art teacher, Joaquim considers drawing to be a huge part of his work. His signature style consists of bright, vibrant colours and deliberate lines. Those lines enhance the peculiar details which were the inspiration for the new painting. Ordinary details, like a button on a blouse, can become new work for Joaquim.

Joaquim: “Drawing is important to me. In each of my works, the “line" is always there. It provides me with a structure; a way to express myself and share with you how I see the world. Very much like Gustav Klimt said it, my fine art is the line around my thoughts. 

Besides the lines, there are the colours. Each carefully and deliberately chosen colour hides a power. Often at an unconscious level, colour speaks its own language.

I invite you into my world by showing you interesting details and interpretations of the world as I see it, with a small dose of humour."
