Lluïsa Simón I Gispert

Painting has always been a priority in my life, and I have been lucky enough to be born into a culturally restless family that made it possible for me to frequently visit the exhibitions that took place in Barcelona and to attend studies and workshops from a very young age. This background has been the foundations of the painter and draftsman that I am, with a solid training in the field of visual arts, who is interested in and enjoys reading, music, cinema and everything that the world of culture can offer me.

After going through several art studies in Barcelona in parallel to the school years, I graduated from the BBAA Sant Jordi university, specializing in Painting (1979-83)
Graphic Design Seminars at EINA School, Barcelona. (1985-86)
I have also taken photography and film direction courses in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
