  1. ✨🪸 We are excited to share this vibrant seahorse illustration by Mr. Seahorse!

    What started as a personal challenge to stop scrolling and overcome an art block, has blossomed into a stunning celebration of one of the ocean’s most #IconicFishes.

    These beautiful pen illustrations capture the intricate textures, vivid colours, and delicate details of the seahorse! 🔗(iconicfishes.art/updates/seaho)

  4. The creativity behind our global arts movement, Inspired by #IconicFishes, continues to grow! We're delighted to share this piece by artist and poet Chris McCabe.

    Inspired by the seahorse's extraordinary traits, from male pregnancy to their slow way of life, Chris invites us to pause, slow down, and let things unfold at their own pace.

    We hope this poem inspires you to join in, create, and help spark more curiosity, joy, and care for our ocean. Read more: projectseahorse.org/seahorse-p

  32. We’re thrilled to present a new artwork by Ingrid Wildlines, Inspired by #IconicFishes.

    With her deep love for the ocean and an upcoming research fellowship on marine invertebrates, she beautifully highlights the pygmy seahorse, a tiny creature that spends its life hidden among gorgonian corals.

    Ingrid’s piece reflects the connection between art, science, and emotion. Her work is a reminder of how art and curiosity can grow into a deeper commitment to protecting our iconic fishes.

  33. The 1859 artwork ‘Ocean Life’ gives a wonderful impression of the real-life complexity which few humans then had the chance to see; Helen Scales describes some of its 75 species. For those of us looking out for #IconicFishes, a #seahorse & #cornetfish stand out. 🧵 3/

  51. You feel it, don’t you?
    That pull.
    That little spark in the shadows of my curves.

    Come closer.
    Turn me slowly.
    I reveal myself in whispers—
    a new silhouette with every delicate touch.

    I’m not here to be understood all at once.
    I’m here to captivate you…
    again and again.
