Inés Silvalde
Humorous Figurative Queer Gesture Painting, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas. "Piriquí"

2018

About the Item

This small-format painting by Inés Silvalde, created in 2019, transforms a playful and rebellious hand gesture into a queer celebration of irreverence and self-expression. Titled Piriquí, the piece features a stylized figure with a raised finger—an ambiguous gesture often associated with mockery or flirtation. Rendered in oil and acrylic on canvas, the composition vibrates with energy through its golden and green swirling lines, evoking both bodily movement and camp theatricality. Silvalde’s figure is abstracted and fragmented, blurring boundaries between the comic and the grotesque, the intimate and the political. The childlike simplification and surreal facial elements reflect a defiant stance against normative aesthetics and behavior, aligning with queer traditions of exaggeration, satire, and coded visual language. Framed in a gold-finished wooden frame, Piriquí becomes more than a humorous painting—it is a small yet bold artifact of queer resistance, poking fun at social conventions while celebrating identity, freedom, and pleasure through gesture and form.
