The artwork was painted completely underwater during scuba diving with special environmentally friendly paints. This technology was developed by the author. These paints are resistant and durable, like oil paints. This painting has been created during three dives. Here you can see the same sunken boat as in the painting “New shipowners”. A boat is lying at the bottom somewhere under the water, lost and alone, among sand and seaweed. It is no longer a part of the human world. The underwater kingdom has taken it for itself. That is not the mechanisms and sides of the boat anymore, but the newly inhabited coral reef. It’s cold and dark around. From the angle chosen by me, the viewer can not see the outline of the boat’s hull at once. Some of my exhibition visitors recognized the painting to be distressing. They associated the stern of the boat with a coffin. At the time of the final dive, I was hoping for the appearance of a turtle appearance. Unexpectedly a giant crocodile fish crawled up to pose for me. Well, that was something that had been sorely lacking to complete the composition. There are more than 200 interviews and articles about my artworks in mass media of more than 30 countries. U can find some of them here. This artwork is framed plastic, but can be sent in tube or on the stretcher or with frame. The artwork is titled and signed on the back side. The original stretcher may have small natural evidence of being underwater. This does not affect the quality of the artwork, but only confirms the way it was made. All are shown in the last photo above.

Olga Belka is a unique underwater artist the only underwater portraitist in the world. She developed a unique technology of painting in salt water allowing her to paint from nature detailing the smallest details of the underwater world. She travels and paints all over the world. Olga managed to achieve not only the desired visual effect and environmental friendliness but also the durability of the paintings. She creates paintings completely from beginning to end from nature on the seabed. Each painting required from two to six dives and every dive lasts up to three hours. ⠀ Olga Belka paints not only corals, fishes, turtles, and other sea life. But she also works with staging. She creates various story compositions. For example, stories of treasure. To do this, she uses additional props, safe for marine life. ⠀ Having gained experience in painting underwater landscapes, Olga Belka set about creating a completely new art direction – an underwater portrait. In the water column, humans obey completely different laws of physics and are surrounded by new unfamiliar energies and a completely different harmony. Being under the authority of the same energies, Olga captures them on canvas. ⠀ Olga Belka’s unique studio is an underwater world where she creates the paintings while diving. The sea is a boundless resource of inspiration and energy for her and Olga Belka wants to share her vision of the underwater kingdom with the world. In addition, Olga wants to draw the attention of the world community to the beauties of the underwater world and the need to protect the environment. That is why Olga create paintings underwater.
