He will make his first appearance in 1942, at the Romanian Athenaeum, where he will have his firs personal exhibition. Also during that year, the artist will make his first appearance at the Official Salon, as well as at the Biennale of Venice. After studying architecture in Bucharest, Horia Damian moved to Paris, where he worked in the studios of André Lhote and Fernand Léger. In Paris, he exhibited for the first time in 1952 at the Arnaud Gallery, alongside André Enard, Ellsworth Kelly, Nicolas Ionesco, Charles Maussion and others.
