Description from the seller
This work has been carried out without the use of artificial intelligence.
Digital photography intervened with digital illustration.
Printed on Hahnemühle Bamboo Natural Line paper, framed in black with glass (interchangeable frame).
Includes an authenticity certificate signed by the artist.
Description of the work
Signing is a piece from The Signature series, in which Lídia Vives explores the relationship between identity, vulnerability, and self-defense. Through the self-portrait, the artist reflects on the armor we adopt throughout life—not always physical, but just as heavy.
The work has been modified with a digital drawing created by the artist herself, in which a plant-inspired Baroque armor is superimposed over her body. This symbolic element coexists with cobalt blue floral tattoos and a small red heart under the eye, elements that dialogue between the ornamental and the emotional. The handwritten text in the upper corner reinforces the intimate meaning of the image: "Do you remember when you put on the armor for the first time? I don't."
As is often the case in her work, Lídia combines visual language with personal narratives, addressing themes such as violence, resistance, social reckoning, and empowerment. Signing speaks not only of protection, but also of the wear and tear of maintaining that armor day after day.

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.
