AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
WESTERN is an expressive painting measuring 70 x 100 cm by artist Flavia Delgado, part of a line of work where contemporary painting, the language of posters, pop aesthetics, and cinematic narrative converge. The work engages with the tradition of graphic illustration and the iconography of the western, evoking visual references tied to classic cinema and mid-20th-century poster art, where the image had to be direct, symbolic, and emotionally impactful.
The use of bold black outlines, the simplification of forms, and the chromatic contrast refer both to classical poster art and to pop-rooted painting, where color does not describe but constructs meaning. The scene does not seek realistic detail, but synthesis: an image designed to be read at a single visual glance, like a still frame or a movie poster.
The painting shows a solitary rider, with his back to the viewer, moving toward the horizon on a white horse. The figure, wearing a dark hat and deep tones, stands out boldly against an open landscape of reddish lands and a wide, almost abstract sky, pierced by stylized clouds. The composition guides the eye toward the background, reinforcing the idea of travel, destination, and irreversible displacement.
Color acts as narrative structure: the intense reds of the earth contrast with the deep blues of the sky and the stark whites of the horse, creating a visual tension that recalls both editorial illustration and genre cinema, where the landscape is inseparable from the character's emotional state. The confident, graphic outlines give the image an almost iconic character, close to the language of film posters.
The landscape is not meant to be a specific place, but a symbolic construct. The horizon functions as both boundary and promise, a space toward which one advances with no turning back. The scene, quiet and restrained, transforms the imagery of the western into a meditation on loneliness, determination, and the impulse to keep going.
WESTERN is a work of transit and decision. A journey without witnesses, where the pictorial gesture, the heritage of the poster, and the memory of cinema fuse into a single image, direct and deeply narrative.

Seller's Story
I present a pictorial work line strongly linked to illustration and artistic poster design. My works combine the language of classic poster art with the plastic freedom of contemporary painting: flat colors, defined contours, direct scenes, and a clear narrative sense.
My work dialogues with the tradition of 20th-century poster art, especially with the universe of Art Deco and European and North American advertising posters, where authors like A. M.. Cassandre, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Leonetto Cappiello used synthetic imagery and color for visual impact. There are also affinities with European comic graphics and the clear line, from Hergé to modern editorial illustration.
In my paintings, I depict interiors, architectures, figures, and travel scenes—such as roads, vintage cars, or landscapes—approached from a graphic perspective reminiscent of posters and illustrated books, but transferred to the realm of painting on paper and canvas. I aim for each image to function like a frame or a narrative poster, capable of suggesting a broader story without needing to explain it.
