Dear Diary

Since prehistoric times, humans have felt the need to leave a mark. Back then, the first people carved figures into cave walls, documenting their daily lives with rough lines and primitive shapes. Centuries later, for a first communion, it was customary to receive a diary—a new way of doing exactly the same thing. Maybe we weren’t chronicling the animals we had hunted, but we were writing about fights at school, first loves, and secrets we swore we’d take to the grave.


Diaries may seem like a childhood habit or even a relic of the past. But the truth is, we’re still desperately trying to preserve our memories for the future. We hang photographs on Instagram, complain on Twitter, chat endlessly on WhatsApp, practice signatures in the margins of notebooks, and leave graffiti on city walls… Some even go so far as to vandalise historical monuments to declare eternal love for their partner. (Don’t do that—the vandalising, I mean.)


One thing is clear: we have an innate need to express ourselves, to hold onto memories, and to make sure future generations know we were here. In my case, I do it through self-portraits. Maybe it’s not so different from those who take selfies… or maybe it is.


In this book, I share everything behind those photographs—how they were created and, more importantly, why.

As part of her diverse artistic journey, she also delivered a TEDx Talk titled "The Art of New Generations", in which she explored the distinctions between artists and artificial intelligence. In this talk, she shared her unique perspectives on creativity, emotional connection, and human uniqueness in the art world. In addition to her work as an advertising and fashion photographer, Lídia sells her art to collectors, decorators, and architects. Inspired by Italian Renaissance and Baroque artists, as well as her contemporaries, Lídia’s work is characterised by her use of colour and a painterly aesthetic to explore contemporary issues. In her personal projects, she occasionally incorporates self-portraits. Her photographs are also known for containing hidden Easter eggs, inviting viewers to explore her work more deeply and uncover its secrets.
