ABOUT THE WORK — Flowers
Flowers is a self-portrait that exalts beauty as a visual and symbolic construction. The figure is crowned with roses in full bloom and dressed in a mantle of butterflies: an intense image meticulously composed where every element reinforces an aesthetics charged with intention.
The composition evokes the imagery of modernism: ornamental exuberance, idealized nature, and a feminine presence that inhabits both the decorative and the enigmatic. The butterflies — symbols of metamorphosis and transience — dialogue with the steady serenity of the flowers, creating a tension between the ephemeral and the lasting.
The restrained expression, the richness of color, and the opulence of textures build a nearly totemic figure, suspended between the real and the symbolic. Here, beauty is not merely a visual attribute: it is a conscious, powerful, and deliberately stylized statement.
Flowers celebrates the sublime through the artificial and proposes a vision where nature reinvents itself as ornament and language.
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.
