For anybody wondering about the story behind our stylised ouroboros logo, our founder & director, Zoe has an ongoing interest in ancient symbology and felt that the symbol, being rich with historical meaning and symbolising rebirth, immortality, eternity, protection, self-reliance, unity, and representing nature’s cycles, was an apt choice for a logo to represent Oil Art Advisory's intention to build an alternative model within the industry .
It’s an ancient circular symbol, dating back to 5000 BC, which depicts a snake or dragon eating its own tail. Archaeologists discovered the oldest known example of an ouroboros on a jar that is possibly 7,000 years old. The symbol has appeared on temples, artwork, and ancient artifacts from an array of cultures around the world, including Egyptian, Greek, Nordic, Indian, Amazonian, and others. Indeed, it’s a symbol that has endured the test of time and which still intrigues us to this day.
