"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."
