The Pink & Turquoise Bikinis from Diyanni Surf: Capturing Bioluminescence & Sunset in Motion
Inspired by one of nature’s most mesmerizing oceanic wonders, the Pink & Turquoise Bikinis from the Bikini Swim collection of Diyanni Surf bring the magic of bioluminescent waters and breathtaking sunsets to life. Drawing from the glowing blue and turquoise hues of Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bay, these bikinis reflect the electric swirls of light created by microscopic marine organisms reacting to movement. This surreal oceanic glow, visible under the night sky, became the heart of the design—encapsulating the mystical energy of the sea in swimwear.

During a Diyanni Surf Content trip in Puerto Rico, Michael Diyanni witnessed the stunning color transitions of the ocean in two defining moments—the ethereal glow of bioluminescent waters at night and the vivid hues of a tropical sunset melting into the waves. As the sun set, soft pinks, rich corals, and vibrant turquoise fused together, creating a dreamy seascape that seamlessly blended with the water. This natural spectacle served as the inspiration for the gradient fades and bold color blocking in the Pink & Turquoise Bikinis—designed to make you feel as though you’re floating between the sunlight and glowing tides.
The Blue Wave Bikini: A Surfer’s Artistic Expression of the Ocean
A highlight of the Bikin Swim collection, the Blue Wave Bikini is a true embodiment of a surfer’s vision of the sea—fluid, dynamic, and ever-changing. Inspired by Michael Diyanni’s experiences riding the waves, this design mirrors the rhythmic motion and shifting tones of the ocean.

Crafted through an organic, hand-painted process, each bikini is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Diyanni personally painted onto a blank white bikini, allowing the movement of the waves to guide his brushstrokes. Layer by layer, the paint merged into patterns resembling the rolling swells, foamy crests, and deep currents of the ocean. The final design was meticulously transferred onto high-quality swim fabric, preserving the authenticity of each brushstroke and ensuring that every bikini feels alive with movement.
The Blue Wave Bikini is more than just swimwear—it’s an artistic expression of surfing, capturing the perspective of being inside the wave, feeling its energy rather than just observing it. Perfect for ocean lovers, this piece brings the essence of the sea to every beach day, embodying the power, motion, and endless allure of the waves.
Whether you’re drawn to the bioluminescent-inspired hues of the Pink & Turquoise Bikinis or the handcrafted artistry of the Blue Wave Bikini, each design in the Bikini Swim collection tells a story of nature’s beauty and movement—making every swim an experience in itself.
