Other artworks by Olga Nikitina
This expressive oil painting captures the dynamic movement of fish sweeping through a vibrant underwater world. Brilliant turquoise and cyan collide with deep ocean blues, fiery reds, and flashes of orange and gold, creating a powerful contrast between luminous water and the energy of marine life.
Olga Nikitina uses bold palette-knife strokes and layered textures to convey the fluidity, rhythm, and spontaneity… of the underwater environment. A radiant opening of light draws the eye into the composition, while the diagonal movement of the fish creates a sense of momentum and depth.
Inspired by the extraordinary vitality of the ocean, this contemporary expressionist work celebrates the beauty of movement and the untamed energy of nature. Its vivid colours and textured surface bring a striking sense of life and dynamism to any interior.

« I love to take underwater pictures but I feel that it is not enough to communicate my admiration for the Red Sea. I realize I can do it only through my soul – through my painting. »
A pioneer in underwater painting, Nikitina's artistic vision was shaped by her years as a scuba diving instructor in Egypt's Red Sea, where she developed a deep connection with the underwater world. Today, living in South Africa, she draws inspiration from its dramatic landscapes, diverse wildlife, and spectacular Sardine Run.
Her vibrant compositions combine colour, texture, and dynamic movement to capture the emotional essence of nature. Through her art, Nikitina invites viewers to reconnect with the natural world and reflect on the importance of preserving its beauty for future generations.
