AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In My Head, 2018
Limited edition artistic photography. Copy 3 of 3.

In My Head is part of the series The Stages of a Heartbreak and constitutes its initial work. Inspired by the Spanish expression “tener pájaros en la cabeza,” the photograph represents the first stage of falling in love: that moment when we idealize the beloved person until we see them as perfect and start to lose touch with reality.

The portrait plays with the subtlety of black and white to build an ethereal and timeless atmosphere. The birds appear as symbols of overflowing thoughts, expectations, and fantasies that alter our perception during the enchantment of love.

The composition, delicate yet visually striking, introduces the viewer to that emotional state in which love transforms the gaze and allows us to see only what we wish to see.

The work has received the following recognitions:

— Gold Medal FIAP in the Monochrome category of the Trofeu Torretes de Fotografia.
— Professional Fine Art First Prize at the Monochrome Awards and the title of Fine Art Photographer of the Year 2020.

Fine Art print on 315 g/m² Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta paper, with a silk/satin finish and an excellent reproduction of blacks, tonal gradations, and details.

Paper dimensions: 64 × 59 cm, including the white margins.

Copy 3/3, last copy of the regular edition corresponding to this format. The edition varies depending on the size. The artist reserves the right to produce up to two artist’s proofs in addition to the regular edition.

The photograph is signed and numbered by the artist by hand. It is delivered with high-quality professional framing, protected with museum glass and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity.

The work will be professionally packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance.

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
