With my drawings, paintings and comics, I share my fascination for the underwater world with children, encouraging them to respect and defend it..
I continue to work for the defense of the marine environment, with Paul Watson (Sea Shepherd), Jean-Michel Cousteau (Ocean Futures) and Patrick Deixonne (Expedition 7th Continent).
Drawing under the sea is always wonderful.
After the death of Captain Cousteau, I continued to live my Life at sea, diving and sailing the seas with my brushes, watercolors and paintings.

I was 22 years old and this whole period of new ideas made my head spin.
When you are a painter, no photo or film can replace the direct observation of the movements, nor the light and the colours under the surface." Dominique Serafini ABOUT Dominique SERAFINI: As a young student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, I loved the atmosphere of May 1968.
Like all the classical French impressionist artists, my paintings are based on my impressions as well as my sketches underwater. "Painting My Life in Blue" is an autobiography and a collection of my paintings and drawings that I have made over the past 50 years.
This book is a summary of that blue voyage. "I was lucky enough to be able to sail and dive around our beautiful blue planet aboard the Cousteau team\'s Calypso and on my sailboat with my friend Catherine Salisbury
