About the Item
“Gladis the Glamorous” is a provocative oil on canvas by Spanish artist Inés Silvalde, offering a raw and unfiltered portrait of a nude female figure partially submerged in a bathtub. With a steady gaze that challenges the viewer, the subject asserts her presence in a space that feels both intimate and performative. Atop her head, an unexpected burst of vivid fuchsia paint spills downward like a surreal crown—at once playful, absurd, and symbolically loaded.
The painting (73 x 100 cm) confronts conventional representations of femininity and glamour through a queer and feminist lens. Silvalde’s use of muted skin tones against a dark background emphasizes the gravity of the figure, while the hot pink cascade becomes a disruptive visual element—suggesting inner fire, emotional overflow, or the absurdity of social expectations. It’s an unapologetic, anti-beauty beauty portrait that reclaims the female nude as a site of resistance, ambiguity, and queer imagination.
Rendered in oil with confident brushwork and classical understanding of light and shadow, this piece reflects Silvalde’s dual mastery of traditional technique and contemporary irony. The subject’s indifferent yet confrontational expression invites reflection on how bodies—particularly women’s—are viewed, judged, and adorned. It offers a powerful visual metaphor for queer visibility, vulnerability, and emotional saturation.
This work is part of a broader body of work that explores identity, gender, and emotion through figurative distortion and psychological intensity. Ideal for collectors of queer and feminist contemporary art seeking technically accomplished, conceptually layered pieces that speak to the politics of the body.

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.
