Inés Silvalde
"Fluorescent Husband". Contemporary Figurative Acrylic Painting on Framed Canvas

2020

About the Item

Part of the Influencers de Taberna series, Fluorescent Husband (2020) captures a moment of surreal humor inspired by a real yet absurd conversation. The painting depicts a woman bathed in an eerie green glow, her expression contemplative yet subtly amused. The dialogue behind the piece revolves around the elusive nature of finding a stable partner—one friend optimistically claims that the right person will be so evident, they’ll shine even in the dark. Silvalde employs a dark background to enhance the luminous quality of the figure, creating a striking contrast that reinforces the thematic absurdity. The exaggerated facial features, unconventional use of color, and layered brushstrokes contribute to the piece’s unsettling yet captivating presence. Through this work, the artist plays with the tension between social expectations and personal narratives, blending humor with an uncanny visual language. Keywords: Inés Silvalde, 2020, acrylic on canvas, contemporary figurative painting, surreal portrait, expressionist brushwork, glowing figure, conceptual humor, narrative painting, female portraiture, exaggerated realism.
