Inés Silvalde"An Afternoon in the Gorse". Oil on Framed Canvas, Figurative Surrealism Paint2020
2020
About the Item
In An Afternoon in the Gorse (2020), Inés Silvalde constructs a visually paradoxical scene where the absurd meets the everyday. A woman sits in a plastic chair, eating an ice cream with an air of complete serenity. Yet, an element of surrealism disrupts the mundane: she wears a plastic bag over her head, and her facial features—particularly her nose and mouth—appear exaggerated, almost sculptural. The setting, a field overgrown with wild vegetation, adds to the uncanny atmosphere.
This oil on canvas piece is based on a real-life scene, reinterpreted through Silvalde’s characteristic approach to the grotesque and the uncanny. By blending hyperrealistic details with unsettling distortions, the artist plays with the fragility of perception and the humor inherent in the absurd. The muted background contrasts with the vivid textures of the figure, reinforcing the painting’s unsettling yet captivating presence.

Inés Silvalde
Inés Silvalde *(Inés Silvade Videla), is a multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on the exploration of the human figure, particularly the female form, as a medium for introspection and emotional resonance. With a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Vigo and training in interior design at the Pablo Picasso School of A Coruña, her artistic approach combines traditional painting techniques with a contemporary sensibility. Her studies in sculpture and visual merchandising further enrich her technical and conceptual foundations. Silvalde’s practice delves into themes of identity, vulnerability, and emotional storytelling, creating works that are both technically skilled and conceptually profound. Her paintings, such as those in the series *DearDiary* (2023) and *Taberna Influencers* (2018), have been showcased in venues like the Museo do Gravado de Ribeira and the Hybrid Art Fair in Madrid. Silvalde’s ability to merge technical mastery with psychological depth makes her work highly sought after in contemporary art circles.
