In Greek “Zoe” means life and “Thea” means sight. Thea is the ancient Greek goddess of sight and shining light, from which all light proceeded. She is the primordial daughter of heaven (ouranos) who endowed gold and silver with their brilliance and intrinsic value. Thea is also the mother of Helios, the Sun, Eos the Dawn and Selene the Moon.
The ancient Greeks believed the eyes emitted a beam of invisible light, which allowed one to see whatever it touched.
How better to describe the creation of Art…bringing life and light to one’s vision.
