Modern Symbolism Art by Christin Behrend

In this period people are going through a lot of unrest;
due to wars, illnesses and personal crises.
However, we still see the light flashing every now and then.
Light in all possible shapes and colors.
Sometimes like a short spotlight, sometimes like a sunrise.
Nature in all its abundance, reflected in flowers, trees, stars and planets.
Radiant experiences.
Messengers of another reality.
The most important things in life are given to us.

That´s what the paintings tell about.
ABOVE.

– Christin Behrend

“Every good and perfect gift is from ABOVE”

Modern Symbolism Art

Christin Behrend combines experimental and expressive painting styles, executed in acrylic colours on a roughened background, created by marble flour enriched with binder.

The results are emotionally charged paintings, whose strongly symbolically atmosphere allows a positive view of life. It processes personal life issues, detached from time and space. Her artworks give an idea of the experience of spiritual liberation.
