AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
THE BATH RITUAL is a 70 x 100 cm painting by Flavia Delgado that situates itself in the tradition of pop art, the language of comics, and mid-20th-century graphic poster art. The work transforms an intimate, everyday scene into an iconic image with strong visual impact and immediate narrative.
The composition is built from an expressive close-up, heir to cinematic framing and the enlarged panel of comics. The female face, the intense lips, and the concentrated gesture turn the moment into a suspended instant, loaded with meaning. The speech bubble integrated into the scene reinforces the pop influence and connects the painting with contemporary visual culture.
The graphic treatment is decisive: clearly defined black outlines, vibrant color planes, and strong contrasts that directly recall the American pop aesthetic. The red of the background and the lips creates an emotional tension that dialogues with the cool blues of the water and the bright whites of the foam, producing a constant chromatic vibration.
The bathtub and the tiles do not function as mere scenery, but as a symbolic space. The bath becomes a territory of pause, introspection, and disconnection. It is not simply a domestic scene, but a private ritual where body and thought meet.
The work dialogues with the vintage advertising tradition and classic cinema, where the female figure appears as a strong, self-assured presence, owner of her space. Here there is no explicit narrative, but suggestion: the viewer completes the story from the gesture and expression.
THE BATH RITUAL speaks of intimacy, self-care, and time for oneself. An image that fuses painting, comics, and poster art to turn a daily moment into a contemporary, powerful, and deeply iconic scene.

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.
