Artist Statement:
"Cornelis Monsma, a modern day
self-professed Christian
artist, seeks to create
spiritually enriching
expressionist art that relates
to a broader audience then
Christianity only and aims not
to “leave behind a religious
aftertaste.”
"Frequently regarded as
blissfully unaware and
displaced from reality, some
spiritually inspiring art is
seen as tasteless or fully
dismissed as ordinary and
ignorant.
If religious in nature,
preconceptions often hinder
the audience from fully
realizing the potential effect
of the art.
Although directly using
terminology associated with
Christianity, perhaps limiting
those willing to remain open
to his intentions, Cornelis
Monsma states that,
“True (contemporary) Christian
art is not a picture of
religious divinity but rather
an expression of the Christ
presence from within.”
One can see that, in word,
Monsma ties his work directly
to his spiritual belief
system; however, in essence,
the work, which he intends to
be spiritually inspirational
to all his potential audience,
is not tied to any one
religion, but is an expression
of the artist’s own
spirituality through his
belief system."
Monsma is a Dutch-Frisian born
artist-painter residing in New
Zealand, showing original oil
paintings and offers duplicate
Giclee Fine Art Prints of most
of the exhibited...
