In the photograph "Ballerina", the artist sits on top of a stool, wrapped in a black ballet swimsuit, her knee and foot bandaged from a recent fall. A single bead of sweat trickles down her forehead, a testament to the grueling physical demands of ballet. But this photograph is not just about the sweat and bruises. It's about the passion and dedication that drives a dancer to push herself to her limits. The artist's injury may be a setback, but it is also a testament to her determination and resilience. In this photograph, we see the beauty and the toughness of ballet, the grace and the sacrifice. "Ballerina" is a photograph that invites the viewer to consider the art and athletic prowess of dance, and the power of the human spirit.

With a degree in Fine Arts and specializing in image, Lidia Vives is an artistic photographer. Her work is characterized by the pictorial atmosphere, the handling of color and the dreamlike character that she manages to transmit. Her main interest at the moment of creating an image is not only the technical effect, but also the anecdotal. He is interested in people interpreting his photography, creating doubts. This makes the viewer be forced to look at it for a while and get into the story. The idea is to make it disturbing, to make it seem that the character will start to move at any moment, to make it clear that they are only the frame of a sequence. He does not want to create scenes, but new worlds.
