About The Artwork
expand_more
The Butterfly Effect is a striking black-and-white portrait where fragility and transformation take center stage. The composition reveals a figure draped in shadow, adorned with butterflies that hover between reality and symbolism. The contrast of bare skin against the delicate wings creates a dialogue between vulnerability and rebirth, suggesting the unseen consequences of subtle shifts in life and identity.
The fine details of the butterflies, captured with poetic precision, heighten the ethereal atmosphere, while the subject’s gaze holds the viewer in a space of quiet intensity. Printed on Fine Art Baryta Hahnemuhle paper, this work offers museum-quality depth, texture, and archival longevity. A collector’s piece that embodies elegance, mystery, and the timeless allure of metamorphosis.

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.

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.
