Cornelis Monsma - Fine Artist
Member Since: 10/21/2007
Over the past forty-five years, Cornelis Monsma combines bold, vivid colours, which are composed into joyful, abundant, contemporary, expressionist Christian art with a deep biblical-scriptural meaning and purpose.
Cornelis Monsma was born in Friesland a province in the north of the Netherlands.
He and his family immigrated to New Zealand in 1981, and now he is pursuing his passion for painting as a full time artist/painter.
The paintings of Cornelis Monsma are intended to portray the new life found in Christ, in colour, composition and word, whether in realism or abstract, bold or subdued.
He aims to open the eyes of the people around him to the joy, peace and Love that can only be found in and through the living Christ.
His works of art, mainly large oil paintings, mirror his personality and his own personal walk with God.
Cornelis successfully tries to avoid the 'religious art' stigma by taking scripture or personal experiences, and portrays it visually in a contemporary modern way, which seems to put scripture in a new and fresh perspective.
