Lula Paeva is an artist with deep connections to the Black Sea and the ocean. Growing up, Lula was inspired by her grandfather's oil paintings of the coast and went on to study art by the Black Sea.

She has continued to explore different techniques and master her skills with oil paints. When Lula moved to the island of Bali, she was once again drawn to the ocean and found inspiration for her work on long beach walks.

Lula's paintings capture the beauty and emotion of the ocean, and she is committed to protecting it through her art. She donates $50 of the proceeds from each painting sold to Sungai Watch in an effort to preserve the marine habitat and the source of her inspiration.
