‘Weedy Sea Dragon’ ~ Dracones et Equorum | Dragons & Horses

This palladium print reproduction features a striking close-up of the Weedy Sea Dragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus), a creature as mythical in appearance as its name suggests. Native to the temperate waters of southern Australia, the weedy sea dragon is adorned with leaf-like appendages that provide both camouflage and an otherworldly beauty.

Rendered in rich, luminous tones unique to the palladium printing process, this reproduction artwork reveals the intricate detail and delicate structure of the sea dragon’s form ~ capturing its quiet presence and surreal grace in exquisite permanence.

Part of Liam Lynch’s Dracones et Equorum | Dragons & Horses series, this piece draws a poetic link between ocean-dwelling “dragons” and their equine-like elegance, blurring the lines between fantasy and nature. A tribute to the fragile wonder of marine life, Weedy Sea Dragon invites viewers into a world few ever see, yet all are connected to.
