Description from the seller
The Secret Party — Edition 2/5
The Secret Party nace de una escena inspirada en el universo de Blancanieves: una joven aparece en medio de un bosque sosteniendo globos de colores, como si se dirigiera a una celebración secreta cuyo destino nunca llegamos a ver.
La imagen combina la apariencia festiva de los globos con una atmósfera mucho más inquietante. Entre las ramas y la vegetación se esconden pequeñas miradas luminosas, una referencia al célebre momento del bosque en el cuento, cuando aquello que parece vacío comienza a revelar presencias ocultas.
La fotografía juega así con la tensión entre inocencia y amenaza, fantasía y temor. La protagonista parece avanzar hacia una fiesta, pero el espectador desconoce quién la espera, qué observa desde la oscuridad o incluso si esa celebración existe realmente.
Como ocurre con frecuencia en la obra de Lídia Vives, elementos visualmente amables y casi infantiles son utilizados para construir una escena ambigua, donde la narrativa queda abierta y es el espectador quien completa la historia.

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
