Does an h2 (heading) contained in a child <div> weight less than an h1 contained in the parent to the search engine?

I have been told that metadata does not mean as much to the search engines as it did in the past.

The site I am creating does not contain headings because it's mostly illustrations with links so I decided to have a heading in the same color as the background in order to give accessibility to the page.

I wonder if I can do it loosely in a child div or if I should indent the heading -9999px in the parent. And also if font size would count as a criteria for the SE.
