I'm Lily Brick, I was born in Lleida.
From a very young age, I began to show an interest in design and the arts in general, and this led me to study Advertising Graphic Design.
For five years, I worked as a designer for different companies and organizations, developing my skills and learning about other areas in the design world. With some experience gained, I became head of a printing company, managing staff, resources and directly coordinating its design area.
After two years at the head of this printing company, I began to explore new ways of channelling my artistic concerns and, during that search, I discovered spray. Within a short time, my hobby became a profession and commissions began to arrive. My first works were in Lleida’s public gardens and in the outskirts of the city, where I spent a few weeks developing my hobby. The discovery of these works by curious observers in the midst of rural places led to the beginning of my trade and my first commissioned mural.
Images of my works quickly spread on social media and soon went viral, which made my art begin to become widely known.
In the almost seven years that I have been professionally active, I have participated in several festivals, including the Cheste Festival, the first edition of the ‘Gargar’ Penelles Festival and the Murcia Street Art Project. I have also exhibited in the Vall Palou Foundation’s gallery, and also in Murcia’s Fine Arts Museum (MUBAM).
My murals can be found throughout Catalonia and in other regions of Spain, holding the record for the largest mural ever painted in Spain by a woman (540 m2). During 2017 and 2018, I worked on several international projects that took I to countries like France, where I participated in the Hotel 128 project, Nederland, at ESA’s (European Space Agency) headquarters, competing with representatives from 11 other European countries. Nederland, at Deen Hag; Germany, Hamburg; or The Gambia, in Africa, where I participated in a solidarity project.
I was involved in several large international projects and my work has been exhibited in 2019, in Sweden, where I painted a 24-meter-high building at its Artscape Saga event, interpreting the culture of the area, as well as in France, at the second edition of the LaBel Valette Festival. Plus, I painted at the Techfest IIT Bombay, in India.
I'm currently also working with small formats, painting with acrylic, oil and sprays.
