Lourenço Providência

Portugal

Lourenço Providência (b. 1996) is a Portuguese artist living and working in New York. With a background in design, illustration, painting, and mural work, Lourenço's multifaceted approach to image-making has largely influenced his refined minimal aesthetic. Inspired by simplicity, efficiency, and the wonders found in the everyday, Lourenço's work values an economy of colour and line and reflects the essential qualities of the objects and people that inhabit his paintings.

“I’ve always been interested in the line between reality and fiction, where one constantly informs the other. I like my work to exist along that line, with one foot on each side.”
