Olga Belka is a Russian artist currently living and working in Thailand. She said the sea has always been a boundless resource of inspiration for her and she wants to share her vision of the underwater kingdom with the world, especially with those who cannot see the wonderful beauty of life under the sea. 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.

She developed a unique technology of painting in salt water allowing her to paint from nature detailing the smallest details of the underwater world. The whole process is eco-friendly. The paint does not dissolve in water at all and Olga never bothers any sea creatures. She creates paintings completely from beginning to end from nature on the seabed. Each painting requires 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. In 2018, she and model Ksenia Galata made an underwater portrait, with Ksenia Galata being the main model. This is also the first artist in the world to do that.

Each of her paintings can be purchased for $3,000 or more. She has also organized many exhibitions to introduce her works to others. In addition to drawing, the female artist also offers diving and underwater painting classes for both adults and children.
