Description from the seller
* This work has been created without the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Edition 2/3 – Signed and numbered
Framed work (black wooden frame, no glass)
Fine Art print on Hahnemühle Baryta paper
DESCRIPTION
The Stalker presents a scene in which domestic calm and suspense coexist in a delicate visual balance.
The protagonist appears relaxed inside her home, seated in an armchair with a bathrobe and towel on her head, reading the newspaper under a warm, cinematic light. The atmosphere conveys intimacy and tranquility, almost like a still frame frozen in time.
However, the shadow projected on the wall — with an unsettling silhouette of rounded ears — breaks that apparent serenity and transforms the scene into a narrative filled with subtle tension and visual irony.
The work plays with the contrast between the everyday and the disturbing, inviting the viewer to imagine what happens out of frame and what silent threat lies behind the scene.
With influences from cinema, staged photography, and vintage advertising language, The Stalker combines humor, mystery, and contemporary aesthetics in a carefully constructed composition.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lídia Vives (1991, Barcelona) is a photographer and visual artist with international projection.
Her work has been published in magazines such as Vogue Italia and Esquire, and exhibited in institutions and spaces such as the Louvre (Paris) and the Saatchi Gallery (London).
With a pictorial, symbolic, and narrative style, she creates images rich in color, emotion, and hidden details that invite careful and deep observation.
Seller's Story
Lídia Vives is a visual artist and fine art photographer in Barcelona. Her work draws from pictorial tradition, symbolic storytelling and contemporary fashion aesthetics, creating carefully constructed images that go beyond surface beauty to reveal hidden layers of meaning.
She is known for embedding subtle narrative details and recurring symbolic elements within her photographs, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with the image beyond its first reading. These visual cues have become a distinctive part of her artistic language.
Influenced by Renaissance and Baroque painting, Vives balances the timeless and the surreal, often working with staged environments, custom-made props and self-portraiture. Her practice combines meticulous art direction with a strong sense of atmosphere and visual cohesion.
Alongside her personal artistic work, she collaborates with brands, media and institutions on editorial, cultural and commercial projects, always maintaining a concept-driven approach and a consistent visual identity.
Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and international art fairs, and featured in publications such as Esquire. She has collaborated with institutions and brands including RTVE and Penguin Random House, and her works are held in private collections worldwide
