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” ENDs
