Description from the seller
This work has been done without the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Global warning is much more than a photograph: it is an artistic thermometer on climate change.
In this self-portrait, the artist appears surrounded by an apocalyptic landscape, crowned with hand-painted leaves using thermal paint. This pigment reacts to an increase in temperature: the green disappears, revealing a dry brown. When the green no longer returns... we will know that it is too late.
Lídia Vives creates a visually powerful and deeply conceptual work, in which beauty and denunciation coexist in the same scene.
This unique piece is printed on Hahnemühle Bamboo Natural Line eco-friendly paper, framed with anti-reflective gallery glass and a gold frame. It is a 1/1 edition, signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Seller's Story
Lídia Vives is a visual artist and fine art photographer born in Lleida and based in Barcelona. Her work fuses pictorial tradition, symbolic storytelling and contemporary fashion aesthetics, creating images that go beyond visual beauty to reveal hidden layers of meaning.
She is known for hiding secrets in her photographs — enigmatic symbols, subtle narrative details, and recurring elements such as bees. These visual mysteries have become her signature, offering viewers the chance to decode personal and universal themes embedded in each composition.
With influences from Renaissance and Baroque painting, Vives constructs her photographs with meticulous art direction, often integrating custom-made props, mixed media, and self-portraiture. Her imagery balances the timeless and the surreal, evoking a sense of suspended reality.
Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries, and international art fairs, and featured in publications including Vogue Italia and Esquire. She has collaborated with institutions and brands such as RTVE and Penguin Random House, and her pieces are part of private collections around the world.
