The painting The Pool captures a serene scene rendered with a naïve art (primitivism) style, characterized by its simplicity and childlike perspective. Its vibrant colors and straightforward composition evoke a sense of innocence and spontaneity often seen in Naïve art. The artist’s approach resembles a Sketch and study methodology, emphasizing raw expression over technical precision. The composition invites viewers to explore the tranquil pool setting, blending a dreamlike atmosphere with a touch of surrealism, reminiscent of Surrealism, yet rooted in a simplified visual language.
