Description from the seller
This work has been carried out without the use of artificial intelligence.
Freedom captures that poetic and irreversible moment when the cage opens and freedom becomes a choice. In this scene meticulously constructed, a young woman holds an empty cage while soft red feathers float in the air: traces of a bird that has already taken flight.
The lush, almost jungle-like vegetation frames the figure with an aesthetic reminiscent of period portraits and Pre-Raphaelite painting, while the color palette—dominated by deep greens, golds, and crimson reds—gives the image a theatrical aura rich in symbolism.
Far from drama, the protagonist's expression is serene, as if the act of letting go, of releasing, were not a gesture of loss, but an act of acceptance. The composition — as carefully crafted as a cinematic scene — conveys a sense of silent, mature, inevitable release.
With reminiscences of Baroque art and fashion photography, Freedom is a work that balances formal beauty with a subtle narrative, inviting the spectator to reflect on inner freedom and the act of renunciation as a form of empowerment.
Project specifications
Artwork with a gold frame and glass. The frame can be changed easily, and so can the glass (the glass is not museum glass, so it creates reflections. It can be replaced while keeping the frame).
Technique and paper: Printed on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta paper with an extra glossy finish.
It is delivered signed and numbered, also with an authenticity certificate.
Shipment with insurance and professional packaging that protects the artwork from potential risks during transport.
Includes cotton gloves for handling the work and a signed postcard with a personal note from the author.
This work has been exhibited at La Llotja de Lleida.

Lídia Vives (1991) is a photographer and visual artist based in Barcelona. Her work has been published in magazines such as Vogue Italia and Esquire, and has been exhibited internationally in prestigious museums and galleries like the Louvre (Paris) and the Saatchi Gallery (London).

He has participated in various contemporary art fairs internationally, and his work has been exhibited worldwide. Upcoming notable events include Art Fair Daegu (South Korea) and the Affordable Art Fair Vienna (Austria), where his work will once again engage with diverse audiences and collectors from all over.

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.
