Turtles (2026) Original Oil Painting by Olga Van Dine

An original oil painting inspired by my journey to the shores of Zanzibar, where the beauty of the tropical ocean meets an incredible diversity of marine life.

During the trip, I experienced an unforgettable moment: swimming with tiny turtles in a natural cave, surrounded by the mysterious turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. This painting was born from that memory—two turtles swimming in a warm tropical sea amidst swaying underwater plants and rays of light filtering through the water.

A rich green-and-gold palette creates a magical underwater atmosphere, while expressive brushstrokes infuse the water and vegetation with a sense of movement.

This original oil painting makes a wonderful addition to nautical, tropical, or bohemian-style interiors. It brings the spirit of travel, the feeling of oceanic freedom, and a connection to the wild into your living room or bedroom.

A painting for those who love the sea, tropical nature, ocean wildlife, and the magic of distant islands.
