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. You looking at a sandhill with waving seaweed in the distance. You are swimming closer and can’t believe your own eyes. The sand is completely bare. What was that? A mirage? Nitrogen narcosis? Hold still for a minute and you will notice something. It is wriggling and appearing out of the sand. This is a garden eel. They spend most of their lives being buried in the sand with only their upper body exposed. At the first sign of danger, they easily hide into a safe shelter. Only a motionless underwater artist can earn the trust of the entire “garden”. I was lucky that I was a solo diver, and there was nobody around who could scare the eels. I was able to get a closer look at them and even capture their bizarre curves in the painting. When I started to work, I was suddenly attacked by a school of sergeant major fish. They started to run around shamelessly. I wasted no time in capturing them. 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. ⠀ Mixed media on canvas. One of kind artwork. This artwork is framed, but It can be sent in tube or on the stretcher or in frame. The artwork is titled and signed on the back side.

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.
