Artistic Expression Exhibiting Faith In Christian Modern Art Is Always Emotional

By Eric Jimenez


Your emotions may be strong when viewing a picture of the face of Christ. An artist uses his talent to express faith and devotion to God. It is pleasant to look at Christian Modern Art because it is beautiful, inspiring and many people are encouraged to pray when they see it.

Abstracts aside, the face and figure of Jesus Christ is one of the most prevalent subjects among these paintings. The works of Thomas Kinkade are collected by more people than any other Christian artist. The Lord is in his heart and displayed in his work.

There are paintings of Jesus with children and as a shepherd with his flock. His face has a kind, but sorrowful appearance. There are some of Him with the others being crucified on either side of Him. In one abstract the cross is painted in tiny squares of blue color against a bright background of red.

Large and small gold crosses are outlined in blue or red. He is shown in a variety of poses. In one series he is shown as a black distorted figure. His body language alone tells of his sorrow against a stark black backdrop.

Various bible verses are painted in attractive patterns. Some are bright and cheerful and others are dark and sad, depending on the tone of the verse. There is something to appeal to everyone since most Christians have a favorite bible verse.

Many angels are painted by Christian artists. Some are majestic, wearing white robes and wings. Others are caricatures similar to childrens comic book figures. You can find an especially charming one showing a winged angel flying just above a man with a heavy bag to carry. The hands of the angel are on the bag to help the man carry it.

Sometimes startling outbursts of color jump out at the eye from the abstracts. Lovely stylized flowers may bloom with blossoms growing towards heaven. Dark, monochrome pictures show Jesus on the cross. Each one is a personal rendition of the painters grief over the crucifixion.

As a joy and inspiration, they can have a different meaning to each person looking at them. Many show circles and some see this as the circle of life from birth to death. Others may see this circular pattern as a symbol of eternity.

These abstracts have a special meaning to the Christian looking at them, or collecting them. One artist uses a special method called painting with light. This is a unique medium that is done with a digital processing technique. These paintings bring happiness into the lives of those who view them.
