Mar Legón - Hidden Pool - XL

HIDDEN POOL

100 × 70 cm
Acrylic on canvas · 2026

Hidden Pool presents a closed and exuberant garden in which a pool appears partially hidden between architecture and vegetation. A strong red wall structures the center of the composition, pierced by a small yellow-framed arch that opens the scene to a second green space. Large tropical leaves, potted plants and overflowing vegetation surround the architecture, while the curved surface of the pool occupies the foreground and reflects fragments of light and color.

The work is built through strong chromatic contrasts between reds, greens, blues and yellows. The violet shadows projected onto the wall acquire a graphic presence and reinforce the intensity of the light, while the succession of planes and the central arch create depth and suggest the existence of spaces that continue beyond what is visible. The pool ceases to function solely as an architectural element to become part of an intimate refuge, protected by the vegetation.

PROJECTION AND VALUE OF THE WORK

Hidden Pool is part of Mar Legón’s investigation into gardens, pools and architectures linked to spaces of rest and contemplation. In this piece, the idea of the hidden acquires special relevance: the viewer visually accesses a reserved environment, while the small central arch introduces a new threshold and prolongs the scene toward a space that remains partially inaccessible.

Entirely handmade in 2026, this unique piece gathers elements characteristic of the artist’s recent production: an intense color palette, formal simplification, highly defined light contrasts and a spatial construction based on the superposition of architecture and nature. The work transforms the private garden into a pictorial setting where color, vegetation and geometry build an atmosphere of isolation and contemplation.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Mar Legón develops a painting practice focused on reinterpretation of landscapes, interiors, still lifes and figurative scenes through a visual language based on color, formal synthesis and atmosphere construction.

Her work transforms spaces and recognizable motifs into images of strong visual intensity, where reality is simplified and reorganized to give rise to scenes that oscillate between memory, imagination and contemplation.
