Athena’s Owl

“ The Owl of Athena gazes beyond the surface — a seeker of truth, wisdom, and dream. With eyes that look into the soul, it becomes both messenger and mirror, revealing what is seen and unseen within. Fluid washes and expressionistic drips trace the movement of thought and intuition, while the eye symbol upon its chest glows as a beacon of awareness — a reminder to look inward and awaken to the truths that guide the spirit.”~Sydney artist, Leni Kae.
