Underwater painting a new fast growing direction in contemporary art. Artwork was created underwater from life nature during scuba diving at the depth of 7.8 meters, session lasted 65 minutes.
Olga Nikitina absolutely fell in love with the Red Sea, with its beautiful and colorful underwater life, spectacular drop-off views and magnificent coral reefs. She loves to take underwater pictures but she feels as well that it is not enough to communicate her admiration for the Red Sea. She realized she can do it only through her soul – through her painting. And the best way to feel inspiration it is to be there, to be a part of marine life, to be immersed in the underwater environment.
A bit aggresive but still beautiful red fish solgiers is very popular in the Red Sea. Red in a blue water, very dynamically. Seascape, marine life, underwater reality.
For underwater painting Olga used oil on canvas, palette knife technique, style underwater impressionism
