The Artist Declares Faith Through Christian Modern Art

By Eric Jimenez


It can evoke many emotions, whether abstract or face of Jesus. The artist may define it as a tangible expression of faith. In any case, Christian Modern Art is beautiful, calming and inspires many Christians to pray and follow their belief in God.

Jesus, God and angels are prevalent in many of these paintings. One artist, Thomas Kinade, is considered one of the most collectible of all Christian artists. His works are the tangible way he shares his religious faith with all the world.

Jesus is depicted with deep intense emotion showing in his eyes. He is painted hanging on the cross, both realistically and symbolically. Many other paintings show the cross using all colors and styles. One shows a blue cross made of small squares and rectangles on a red background. The background is also small squares and rectangles.

Crosses of gold are contrasted with multicolored backgrounds or outlined in blue. Poses of Jesus display His body language showing sorrow and defeat. In one series He is painted in red against a dark, black background.

The words of various bible verses are done in patterns of all kinds. They may be sad and monotone or bright cheery messages of hope. People can find one of these showing a favorite verse from the bible.

Angels are always a favored figure in Christian paintings and on Christmas trees. They are beautiful and glowing, in pristine white robes with halos on their heads. Others are shown helping people to carry heavy burdens throughout difficult journeys. They sometimes are shown as caricatures from childrens stories.

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.

The spectator can visualize the sorrowful hours of the death of Jesus on Good Friday. Alternatively, they can view the joy of Easter Morning when he rose from the dead. An abstract painting is anything the viewer imagines it to be. Circles may represent the circle of life to some and a glimpse into eternity to other.

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.
