Description from the seller

* This work has been created without the use of Artificial Intelligence.

Global warNing is much more than a photograph: it is an artistic thermometer of climate change.
In this self-portrait, the artist appears surrounded by an apocalyptic landscape, crowned with hand-painted leaves using heat-sensitive paint. This pigment reacts to rising temperatures: the green disappears and reveals 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, where beauty and denunciation coexist in a single scene.

This unique piece is printed on eco-friendly Hahnemühle Bamboo Natural Line paper, framed with anti-reflective gallery glass and a gilded frame. It is an edition 1/1, signed and accompanied by an authenticity certificate.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

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 such as the Louvre (Paris) and the Saatchi Gallery (London).

With a painterly, symbolic, and narratively recognizable style, Lídia creates images rich in color, emotion, and hidden details — her characteristic easter eggs — inviting careful and deep observation.

She has participated in several international contemporary art fairs, and her work has been shown worldwide. Upcoming notable appearances include Art Fair Daegu (South Korea) and the Affordable Art Fair Vienna (Austria), where her work will again engage with diverse audiences and collectors from all over.

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
