Dive into ‘Fantasy Ocean World’ by Ammi (Leong Yoke Mee)

Take a step back and dive into “Fantasy Ocean World,” a detailed illustration by Ammi (Leong Yoke Mee), an art teacher, artist, and illustrator based in Penang, Malaysia. Inspired by her diving experiences, Ammi blends reality with buckets of creativity by capturing a whimsical perspective of the rich ecosystems beneath the waves. 🪸 

“I hope that people who look at it will appreciate and cherish the beauty of the sea and be reminded not to destroy this precious natural ecosystem,” said Ammi. 

Try your hand at spotting our #IconicFishes in this piece, such as a male seahorse giving birth or the banded pipefish drifting through the sea. We hope that this piece sparks joy and is a reminder of how important it is to protect the colorful life under the ocean. 

We would love to see more art that reveals and celebrates the wonders of the sea. Join the Inspired by Iconic Fishes art movement today and share your own creativity with a worldwide audience. Here's how you can do it:
