About The Artwork
expand_more
Nefesh is an intimate meditation on the intersection of spirit, science, and self. A female figure rests with eyes closed, her face emerging gently from shadow. Across her forehead, golden mathematical notations illuminate like a secret script of thought and memory, suggesting the hidden architectures of consciousness. The soft grayscale tones provide a quiet backdrop for the gold ink, which glows with both precision and mystery, embodying the fragile balance between rationality and emotion.
Printed on Fine Art Baryta Hahnemuhle paper, this work blends photographic mastery with hand-applied gold ink, creating a textured and luminous finish that draws collectors into its layered meaning. Nefesh resonates as both portrait and metaphor, inviting reflection on the unseen forces that shape identity and human connection.

Fair & Free Shipping
We provide fair shipping for all orders under $500. What’s that mean? When most online retailers provide “free” shipping, they’re actually marking up prices to cover the shipping charge. This often costs you more! We don’t do that. Instead, we charge you exactly what it costs to ship your purchase to you. For all orders over $500, we’re happy to provide free shipping.

About the artist

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.
