Lleida, November 2020. The award-winning Catalan visual artist Lídia Vives, presented her new series "Psyché", which is, so far, the most ambitious project of her career, and in which she addresses one of the themes that for years we have raised: what is the soul? Where is it located? And how can it be represented?
The photographer, together with the Spanish Gallery Fifty Dots, and her father, painter Arturo Vives, combines techniques in which the photographic elements represent the soma (body) and the writings or drawings, symbolize the psyche (soul) to approach the different theories about the “communication of substances” or how something immaterial like the soul can interact with something material, like the body.
In this way, human silhouettes appear in black, almost imperceptible, like X-rays, while texts, drawings, cartesian passages, chemical formulas and musical notations appear in golden pigment, in accordance with the Byzantine tradition to represent what is transcendent.
In addition, in its physical versions, they will be unique editions, resembling jewels, since each of the prints will be hand-operated with golden ink, as tradition dictates."Psyché" is inspired by various cultural references that relate this duality to chemical formulas associated with behavior and spirit; Plato's Phaedo; the Quaestiones Disputatae of Santo Tomás de Aquino; and Descartes's theory of the meeting of body and soul in the pineal gland.
Thus, this series is a pictorial reflection of the theories and attempts to reach an agreement on the location, definition and even conceptualization of the soul, inside and outside the body, on which the Catalan Lídia Vives was inspired by.

Lídia Vives (Spain, 1991), currently based in Barcelona, is a photographer and visual artist whose work has appeared in magazines such as Esquire and Vogue Italia, as well as in galleries, art fairs, and museums such as the Louvre in Paris. She has also worked with a number of musical groups, including the Spanish band Love of Lesbian.
Since her first exhibition in 2013, she has traveled the world presenting her work and has received numerous international awards (gold medal for self-portraiture at the Trierenberg Super Circuit in Wels, Austria in 2022, and a winner of the Passepartout Photo Prize in the Annual Catalogue 2022 in Italy...)
Strongly influenced by Italian Renaissance and Baroque artists, as well as some of her contemporaries, Lídia's work is distinguished by the pictorial environment that she employs when dealing with current issues, frequently employing her self-portrait. She is also known for hiding Easter eggs in her photographs to entice the viewer to look deeper into her work.
