Underwater rocks Painting

Valeria Ocean is a contemporary marine artist born in Russia and now based in Belgrade, Serbia. She is deeply inspired by water and the emotional states that appear within its movement. Through atmospheric seascapes and detailed studies of light, color and flow, she explores how the shifting surface of the ocean reflects human feelings and quiet inner transitions. Valeria sees the ocean as both an external scene and an inner landscape. Her practice revolves around subtle changes between calmness and intensity, stillness and motion, clarity and depth. She works mainly with oil and acrylic, creating layered and luminous surfaces that draw the viewer into a space of reflection, presence and serenity. Her inspiration comes from the transformative character of nature and the way water carries memory, energy and emotion. Valeria aims to create paintings that bring beauty and calm into contemporary living. For her, water is not simply a subject but a symbolic language that expresses renewal, emotional clarity and the ever-changing rhythm of life.
