Description from the seller
This work has been done without the use of Artificial Intelligence.
In French, 'femme coupée' means 'the woman cut' or 'fragmented.' However, in this photograph, we do not see a woman but a doll and its story.
This doll has lived through a madness: dancing, playing, and celebrating so much that it lost part of its body in the chaos. The vibrant colors, sparkling confetti, and its serene expression create a disturbing contrast, as if capturing the exact moment where fantasy and reality collide.
The image explores the tension between fragility and excess, the idea of losing oneself in pleasure until breaking, transforming into a character within their own surreal story.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE WORK
Technique and paper: Printed on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta paper with an extra glossy finish.
It is delivered signed and numbered, also with an authenticity certificate.
Shipping with insurance and professional packaging (in a tube or rigid envelope depending on the destination) that protects the artwork from potential risks during transport.
Includes cotton gloves for handling the work and a signed postcard with a personal note from the author.

Seller's Story
Lídia Vives is a visual artist and fine art photographer born in Lleida and based in Barcelona. Her work fuses pictorial tradition, symbolic storytelling and contemporary fashion aesthetics, creating images that go beyond visual beauty to reveal hidden layers of meaning.
She is known for hiding secrets in her photographs — enigmatic symbols, subtle narrative details, and recurring elements such as bees. These visual mysteries have become her signature, offering viewers the chance to decode personal and universal themes embedded in each composition.
With influences from Renaissance and Baroque painting, Vives constructs her photographs with meticulous art direction, often integrating custom-made props, mixed media, and self-portraiture. Her imagery balances the timeless and the surreal, evoking a sense of suspended reality.
Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries, and international art fairs, and featured in publications including Vogue Italia and Esquire. She has collaborated with institutions and brands such as RTVE and Penguin Random House, and her pieces are part of private collections around the world.
