AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
YELLOW DUCK is a 70 x 100 cm painting by Flavia Delgado that blends pop aesthetics, comic language, and vintage illustration to transform an everyday scene into an iconic image rich in visual irony.
The composition presents a close-up of a woman in the bathtub, captured in a moment of surprise or daydream, accompanied by the classic yellow rubber duck floating in the water. The scene, seemingly domestic and simple, becomes a narrative stage thanks to the bold graphic treatment: strong black outlines, simplified volumes, and a reduced but intense color palette.
The influence of pop art is evident in the chromatic contrast—vibrant reds on the lips and headband, saturated yellows on the duck, deep blues in the water—and in the almost iconic construction of the elements. The duck is not a mere object: it becomes a cultural symbol, instantly recognizable, associated with childhood, play, and contemporary visual culture.
The framing references cinematic language and comics, with a focus on facial expression suggesting a story off-camera. The fixtures and background tiles place the scene in an intimate space, but the stylized treatment avoids any realist intention, reinforcing the graphic character of the work.
The combination of sensuality, humor, and popular culture situates the piece in a tradition that dialogues with mid-20th-century advertising and with contemporary reinterpretations of the ordinary. The scene functions as a frozen frame, a suspended moment between innocence and sophistication.
YELLOW DUCK is a work that turns an intimate gesture into an emblematic image. Through a language that blends painting, illustration, and pop culture, Flavia Delgado transforms the ordinary into an icon, playing with nostalgia, humor, and the visual force of color.

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.
