Inés SilvaldeOil on Canvas, Contemporary Figurative Scene with Bold Palette. "You Can Look"2018
2018
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.

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.
