Underwater Surfer by Felicity Bates is a captivating miniature oil painting inspired by the surf culture and coastal waters of the Central Coast NSW, Australia. This intimate work offers a rare underwater perspective, capturing the quiet moment beneath the surface as a surfer glides through crystal-clear water, suspended between motion and calm.

Painted in Felicity’s signature photorealistic style, the artwork showcases luminous layers of turquoise and green, with delicate bubbles and light ripples dancing across the surface above. The subtle detail of the surfboard and figure hints at movement, while the surrounding water creates a sense of stillness and immersion — a moment often unseen by those above the waves.

Presented on a small easel, Underwater Surfer invites closer viewing, making it a charming and unique addition to desks, shelves or small feature spaces. This original, one-of-a-kind piece reflects Felicity’s deep connection to the ocean and her ability to capture both the energy and serenity of life in and around the sea.

Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a small coastal keepsake, Underwater Surfer brings a sense of surf culture, ocean calm and Central Coast spirit into any space.
