Emília Coranty Llurià was born in Barcelona. She acquired artistic training at a drawing school of the Provincial Deputation of Barcelona, at the Escola de la Llotja (1885-1887), and at the Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi (1886-1888).

The following year, she moved to Paris, and then went to exhibitions all over the world. In 1893, she was awarded the silver medal,[2] of the women's pavilion at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where she exhibited alongside Mary Cassatt and Rosa Bonheur. In 1895, she exhibited at the Exposition de Bordeaux (1895) [fr].

She served as a teacher at the Escola de la Llotja[3] and campaigned all her life for women to have quality artistic training.
