Caryatid

Inspired by the sculptural tradition of the ancient Greek caryatids, this photograph reinterprets the classical figure of the female body as an architectural presence. In Greek temples, caryatids were sculpted women who replaced columns, bearing the weight of the structure while embodying elegance, grace, and permanence. They were both ornament and support, beauty and burden.

In this image, the protagonist stands beside a classical column, surrounded by an overgrown garden of roses and foliage. Her posture echoes the quiet stillness of stone figures carved into ancient architecture, yet she remains unmistakably human—soft, contemplative, and alive. Draped in a flowing gown reminiscent of classical garments, she becomes a living echo of those ancient forms, suspended between sculpture and flesh.

The surrounding vegetation slowly reclaiming the architecture suggests the passage of time: nature entwining itself with history, memory, and myth. Within this setting, the figure appears both guardian and relic, a contemporary caryatid inhabiting a space where antiquity and imagination meet.

It is important to avoid direct contact with sunlight. If you want to save the artwork, instead of having it exposed, it should be done in a drawer and protected with a tissue paper or any other soft paper.

If you exhibit the artwork in a room, it must be protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

If you want to frame it, the materials must be acid free as well as the passepartout. If the frame is made of wood and is in direct contact with the photo, it must be made of natural wood and without varnish.

Adhesives must also be acid free. If not, any other adhesive could leave yellow marks and deteriorate the support.

The print should only be handled with cleat cotton gloves in order to avoid leaving traces of grease or moisture. You have to touch it with cotton gloves like the ones that we enclose inside the package.

Do not roll the photograph again after it has been unrolled.

Store the work in a cool, dry place preferably at a room temperature between 10º and 30º with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

If you have acquired more than one photograph, they should never be touched between them since the surface of the print is delicate. You should always put a tissue paper or, at least, another soft paper between the both of them.
