Mural Playa San Marcos

This mural project, developed in two phases, seeks to intertwine the maritime essence of San Marcos (Icod de los Vinos) with its architecture and daily life.
Phase One: The Cycle of the Sea and Memory
The mural establishes a visual narrative that transcends the boundaries of architecture. It all begins on the main facade, where a young man fishes from a small boat. The line of his fishing rod—a symbolic red thread—acts as a guiding thread for the viewer: the thread plunges into the building's interior corridor, transforming the space into an underwater immersion where the ceiling and walls become a blue abyss where the hook lies in wait.

The narrative continues as it turns to the exterior, where the drama becomes human: a fishmonger, with her expert hands on a checkered tablecloth, rescues fish from the net. In a gesture of vital surrealism, one of the fish grows legs and flees to the right of the wall, seeking its freedom. Finally, the mural expands onto a large side wall where the horizon connects the terrestrial with the abyssal: the imposing silhouette of Mount Teide crowns the scene, while beneath the surface unfolds a marine ecosystem with the area's most representative species.
Second Phase: Sport and Tradition
The second phase shifts the theme to the realm of sports, incorporating the walls of the adjacent court. Here, the visual language adapts to the energy of the space: through symbolism centered on water sports, the mural unifies the concept of the sea with the dynamics of sport. As an emotional conclusion, the entrance wall includes a tribute to the neighborhood's popular festivals, anchoring the work to tradition and the sense of belonging of its residents.
