ABOUT THE WORK: Everyone thinks their era is the best, that's clear, but no one can deny us millennials the truth that the '90s were both tacky and wonderful, and how lucky we were to be born in them:
We were the first to wear those plastic chokers that later came back into fashion, our pencils were Alpino, we understood what 'teen spirit' smelled like, we heard Lady Di say that there were three people in that marriage, to us the pineapple was blue, our notebooks were Rubio, we saw the birth of the pop princess dressed as a schoolgirl, changing clothes like Sabrina seemed super practical, Cola Cao was cultivated by 'a little black man from tropical Africa' (problematic, I know), our first responsibility was keeping a Tamagotchi alive, our Google was an encyclopedia called Larousse, Wonderwall was a big hit, having a cousin who drank Zumosol guaranteed protection from bullies, you had to choose if you were a Bravo or SuperPop girl, eating just one Petit Suisse made you a loser because 'I had two,' everyone had their favorite Power Ranger, we were the first to say that both Rose and Jack could fit on that door, Boomer was a really long gum, sitcoms became popular with us through Seinfeld and Friends, we saw Dolly the sheep get cloned, cried over Mufasa's death, debated the size of Oliver and Benji's soccer field, understood Pingu (somehow), had a paperclip help us with Word, everything was cured with Mercromina and Vicks Vaporub, we all wanted friends like those from Recess, The Simpsons were the peak of humor along with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, some were more into Astérix and others into Tintin, at the Olympics we joined Freddie with Montserrat, we had a robot servant named Emilio, learned what telekinesis was thanks to Matilda, believed that t.A.T.u. were really lesbians, everyone had a Flubber, wore jelly sandals to the beach, Canal+ got scrambled at certain hours, if you got up early to watch TV, you’d find the test card, Disney movies started by threatening you with jail if you violated article 270 of the penal code, and we loved saying, 'Oh my God, they killed Kenny! Motherfuc*ers!'
The '90s were amazing. So much so that even now, when a bell rings at the perfect moment, we still remember to say we've been 'saved by the bell.'
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.
