WORLDS ONLY UNDERWATER PORTRAITIST OLGA BELKA CREATES PAINTING
WITH VID
By Saloni Mathur
This amazing video showcases the brilliant work of an underwater artist, Olga Belka.
Olga Belka is a world-renowned underwater portraitist who paints directly on the seabed, capturing marine life and human subjects in real-time.
She uses specialised, eco-friendly materials and spends hours submerged per painting, creating detailed, durable art.
In this clip Olga is painting a seahorse among the corals to symbolise the Year of the Horse.
The artwork incorporates the traditional Chinese inscription which reads 'A wish for seasonal abundance" through a play on words that also implies a wish for plenty of fish.
Olga creates her works entirely on the seabed.
She pioneered a lab-tested, eco-safe technique for painting in salt water to capture authentic marine light and colour.
People are intrigued by her work on social media.
One follower commented: “That's so interesting yet adventurous!”
Another wrote: “Watching the process of writing underwater paintings fascinates and hypnotises with its beauty”
