A Story Born from Light, Art, and Love

Zoo 18 was created by artist and storyteller, Fotini Revis, an internationally experienced fine artist whose life has been devoted to beauty, meaning, and emotional expression.

Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Fotini revealed extraordinary artistic sensitivity from a very young age. Her natural gift distinguished her early on, leading her to pursue formal studies in Fine Arts, specializing in iconography and art conservation — one of the most spiritually profound and technically demanding artistic disciplines.

Her artistic journey has taken her across Europe, Australia, and the United States, and her works now live in private collections, sacred spaces, and cultural environments around the world.

But beyond recognition and achievement, her deepest inspiration has always been children — their emotional world, their vulnerability, their imagination, and their need for comfort, protection, and guidance.

Why Zoo 18 Exists

As both an artist and a mother, Svetlana felt a calling to create something meaningful for children — something that could support their emotional development and inner strength.

She envisioned a calm and safe universe. A world where children feel protected. A world where kindness is strength. A world where emotions are understood and respected.

This vision became Zoo 18. At the heart of this universe is Koufi, the Angel Cat — a gentle guardian who helps children face their fears, understand their feelings, and discover their inner courage. Alongside him is Roza, representing innocence, curiosity, and the pure human heart.

Together, they guide children through meaningful journeys that nurture empathy, confidence, emotional awareness, and inner peace.

Inspiring Children to Protect Animals and the Earth

At the core of Zoo 18 lives an even deeper purpose — to help children reconnect with their natural bond with animals and the living world around them.

These stories gently encourage empathy, respect, and responsibility toward animals, nature, and Planet Earth — teaching children that our world is not simply where we live, but a shared home that depends on our care and protection.

The goal is to plant a seed of compassion, responsibility, and ecological awareness — so children grow into adults who respect life, protect nature, and help build a more sustainable and harmonious future.
