About the Item

You Can Look (2018) is an early work from Inés Silvalde’s ongoing Influencers de Taberna series, marking a pivotal moment in her experimentation with color, texture, and spontaneous composition. Executed in oil on canvas, the painting measures 20 x 25 x 3.5 cm and is framed, ready to hang. The piece depicts two loosely rendered figures in the midst of a shared, performative gesture—one applying lipstick, the other lingering behind—suggesting themes of vanity, intimacy, and visual consumption. Built from saturated colors and expressive brushstrokes, the composition draws inspiration from a candid photo taken at a festive event, transformed here into a commentary on social dynamics and the visibility of the self. Silvalde's visual language in this piece lays the groundwork for her exploration of how daily rituals—framed by technology, spectatorship, or gendered behavior—become symbolic containers of identity. The thick layering of paint and deliberate distortion of form emphasize the tension between appearance and interiority, posing the question of who is truly being seen.
