Nemo's games. The original artwork painted underwater. Print

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. Whatever you say, the clownfish, nicknamed Nemo after the famous cartoon – is one of the most charming sea creatures. I spent three dives working on this painting, and altogether I devoted at least forty dives to them. Nemo fish can be found at each fifth of my underwater paintings. The clownfish are usually orange, red, or black with a distinctive white stripe. Their behavior reminds me of a child’s game, something between playing tag, hopscotch, and hide-and-seek. They swim away as if teasing us with their bright colors and defiantly wagging their tail. Then they quickly hide in the house, which is a poisonous anemone, by the way. Interestingly, when the clownfish takes over a new anemone, it allows the anemone to sting it a little to determine the composition of the poison. Then it produces exactly the same slime, which anemone uses to protect itself from its poison. After that it starts to have fun in all possible ways, teasing other fish. 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.
