Theia (Goddess of Light)

This sculpture represents my artistic vision of the goddess Theia. As the Greek goddess of divine and heavenly light, as well as sight and the bright sky, she was regarded as the goddess from which all light proceeded.

Standing at 4.2 metres tall, she is represented in a powerful, dynamic pose, embodying light and energy. This design features shards of light that emanate from her figure, which emphasise this energy and divine power.

The fluidity of her figure captures a sense of movement, adding to the dramatic presence. Theia’s flowing, elongated form and textured surface further enhance her ethereal nature and portray a goddess who embodies both grace and authority.

This monumental piece invites viewers to reflect on the role of light in both the natural and spiritual worlds, offering a blend of ancient mythology with contemporary artistic interpretation.

The sculpture was based on a smaller piece called “Spark I”.

Theia is currently on display and available for purchase at Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset. Its serene, natural landscape, expansive gardens and shimmering water surfaces enhance Theia’s radiant bronze form, allowing her connection to light to truly shine. It’s a perfect match for both art and nature lovers.
