About The Artwork

The 2004 tsunami had terrible devastating effects throughout Southeast Asia, including Thailand. An underwater memorial has been erected in the Similan National Park in memory of the dead. Divers from all over the world visit it every day. One of the sculptures is the figure of a girl lying at the bottom in an unnatural position. The soul is filled with compassion at the sight of her. We do not know who she was or what her name was. However, the Thais say that this is not just a collective image. This sculpture was installed on the donations of one of the tourists in memory of his deceased lover. When I first saw this sculpture, it struck me. I specially came to the Similan National Park to paint and to honor the memory of all those who died in that terrible tragedy. I was not able to spend a few days at this dive site due to the diving logistics in the National Park. Therefore, I painted a part of the coral reef in another part of Similan, and I finished this artwork in one of the bays of Phuket. Luckily, а starfish doesn’t have a face, one started posing and the other continued! You can read more about my artworks in a mass media using the link https://olgadiving.com/en/media/ 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.
