Description from the seller
Sign Off — Edition 2/7
Sign Off is part of The Signature, an autobiographical series of self-portraits in which Lídia Vives uses photography, drawing and memory as tools to reconstruct different stages of her life.
The origin of the series lies in a childhood memory: her grandfather handed her a newspaper and a pen saying “sign here.” That small gesture gave rise, years later, to a visual investigation about the need to intervene in images, leave a mark and transform the body itself into a narrative surface.
In The Signature, each photograph is linked to a moment, an emotion or a personal wound. The graphic interventions turn the self-portraits into a kind of visual diary where memory, identity and irony coexist within the same image. series-detail
Sign Off appears as the closing of this journey. Its title alludes to both the act of signing and saying goodbye: ending a chapter without erasing what preceded it. The work reflects on the marks we leave, the ones others leave on us and the way those traces end up forming part of our identity. In this case, the artworks that have especially influenced shaping the artist’s style, where it also includes part of a painting by her own father.
Year: 2025
Limited edition: 2/7
Dimensions: 42 × 63 cm
Paper: Hahnemühle Bamboo Natural Line
Finish: soft texture, slightly felted

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
