AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
EL CIRCO is a 70 x 100 cm painting by Flavia Delgado that sits within the tradition of classic posters and popular illustration, with clear resonances of the circus imagery that shaped graphic art and cinema in the 20th century. The work turns the circus tent into a visual icon, instantly recognizable, full of symbolism and nostalgia.
The composition centers on the large canvas tent, built from a clear and dominant pyramidal structure. The blue and yellow stripes, delineated by bold black outlines, directly recall the language of the advertisement and the graphics of traveling shows, where visual impact had to be immediate and memorable. The tent is not just a physical space, but the emblem of a world apart: the place where the performance begins.
The graphic treatment of the drawing, with expressive lines and a deliberate simplification of forms, connects the work with narrative illustration and comics, as well as with pop aesthetics, where the image is built from clear and powerful signs. The banners that crown the tent reinforce the sense of movement and celebration, introducing a visual rhythm that animates the scene.
Color plays an essential role in the atmosphere of the work. The deep blue sky acts as a clean, open backdrop, while the warm yellows of the tent evoke light, spectacle, and promise. There is no intent to depict realism: colors function as emotional codes that activate the collective memory of the circus as a place of awe and escape.
The cinematic influence is evident in the frontal and slightly low-angle framing, which makes the tent the absolute protagonist, almost as if it were the opening shot of a film. The absence of human figures reinforces the idea of waiting, of a moment before the action, when the spectacle has not yet begun and everything is anticipation.
EL CIRCO is a work about the promise of spectacle and the magic of the ephemeral. Through a language that fuses painting, illustration, and poster art, Flavia Delgado builds an iconic image that appeals to memory, childhood, and the fascination with that traveling universe where the extraordinary always seems about to happen.

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.
