About the Item
This mesmerizing piece, "Sardines", was painted entirely underwater at a depth of 7.1 meters by artist and professional diver Olga Nikitina. Executed in her signature underwater impressionist style, the artwork captures the dynamic motion and shimmering beauty of a sardine school in its natural environment.
Using a palette knife and impasto technique, Olga applied thick, expressive strokes of oil paint directly to the canvas while submerged. The underwater environment brings unique challenges and unexpected effects—visible in the fine craquelures and organic textures that developed naturally during the painting session. These subtle surface details add an authentic sense of depth and motion, making each underwater painting truly one of a kind.
A rare and captivating work created under the sea—this piece is not only a visual delight but also a celebration of the fusion between art and adventure.
By influence of underwater environment, feeling of no gravity, colorful impression, another reality - It feels different, brain works different, colors and shapes just blows your mind.
What is special about underwater painting - color perception different to reality because color rays do not penetrate the water column. On the surface it is always surprise.
Visibility underwater is changeable from cristal clear to complete fog. Shapes of underwater environment just a silhouette in the shadow, fish come close and disappear instantly in the fog leaving behind circular color curls and swirls.
Style: underwater impressionism
Technique: palette knife oil painting

2006 - Degree of Interior Design from Ulyanovsk State University 1995-2000 - School of Fine Arts, Ulyanovsk, Russia Was published in art magazines and journals, participated in group and solo exhibitions. Artworks are in private collections all over the world: USA, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, France, Spain, South Africa, Egypt, Australia, Japan, Singapore. The main focus of my painting is underwater world. I draw my inspiration during scuba diving. Underwater I have learnt not only about the many life-forms, but the shapes and colors of everything in that realm continue to blow my mind. I feel like I am in another dimension. Scuba Divers witness the changes happening in the ocean – and can be among the first to raise the awareness of others to these growing problems. Nowadays most scuba divers have underwater cameras, to record the treasures and tragedies happening underwater – in this case evidence of the destruction of marine life. Art too, is a very effective tool and medium to communicate these messages. My art is my language. I would like to make people more human, more spiritual, to find their soul, love and kindness through the reunion with nature. So I am very happy to have opportunity to attract people by my art to the nature, in diver to find an art person and show a new reality – underwater world to art person. I believe that with my paintings more people will fall in love with the world of the sea, and become involved in the protection of our oceans for future generations to enjoy and wonder at. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life.
In my underwater art I use palette knife, it gives an incredible deep texture and makes the artwork alive. Impasto painting is one of the palette knife art style. I work in artstyles such as impressionism, abstract, expressionism, fine art, conceptual and sometimes realism.
I work with acrylic painting, mixedmedia, texture paste however oil painting is my favorite.

Nugzar Avtandilovich Kahiani was born in Poti, Georgia in 1952. He studied at the Art College named after Nikoladze. Then he went to serve in the Soviet Army from1970 to 1972. After completing his military service he entered the Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry at the faculty of artistic metal, from which he graduated in 1986. During his studies, he has been actively engaged in painting. His favorite artists are Gauguin, El Greco, Botticelli, Turner and Picasso.
Works of artistic stone
He worked also with stone, cornelian and onyx. But his soul gravitated to bright and blustery color, and so he has became engaged in painting. At first his paintings were quiet, with muted tonal gamma. The color image was built on the play of hues and halftones. Such a careful elaboration of color educates the taste, sharpness and delicacy of vision. Gradually, the painter became more experienced, and his paintings acquired assurance and power of maturity, blooming in colorful brilliancy.
Nugzar's color preferences
The color of Nugzar’s paintings is deep and multi-layered. It is woven of infinite number of hues and filled with light. At first sight it may be difficult to recognize the shapes in the play of flickering color dabs. The figures appear gradually, they draw the first breath just before our eyes, crystallizing from the color heap. The painter is attracted by major tonality and motives that years ago could be called “the gallant feasts” - repasts, assiduities, music parties, and airings. After somewhat daemonic, infernal imagery of early paintings, it has appeared the theme of “Le joie de vivre,” the joy of life.
Source of inspiration
Born in the ancient Kolkhida, he keeps the blissful pagan feel of entirety and completeness of being. It is embodied almost literally in his favorite personage auroral gorgeous-bodied beauty of a girl. He grants these forms even to Olympian inhabitants - Aphrodite, Athene, Arthemide, let alone the Bacchants. I remember unwittingly that Niko Pirosmani similarly painted on his impoverished buckrams the luxurious prince repasts and languid, elephantine beauties.
Working style
But his style is not bounded by grotesque parody, as well as the irony is not the only aspect of his world outlook. In his landscapes we can catch the ecstatic admiration with Nature. In contradistinction to his favorite impressionists, he never paints from nature and never bears in mind the particular place. It is just a blooming Earth, studied very closely, so that the trees are cut by the edges of the painting, and at the same time it is a bird’s eye view revealing infinite, boundless spaces. Nougzar says that the landscape for him is first of all a color ensemble. He can just leaf through the illustrated journal, nourishing his eye with color in various combinations, and so get the impulse to create a ‘physical’ landscape image. Probably, his landscapes are no less fantastical than his figure compositions, but such is his talent, his mission - to make the world more beautiful and gentle than it is in reality.
