Art Series: The Presence Within – Figures of Christ in Humanity  

Artist: Maria Chabo

This series by artist Maria Chabo explores the idea that the presence of Christ lives within the everyday lives of people. The figures depicted in the paintings represent Jesus symbolically within ordinary individuals — people who live, work, struggle, and move through the world. Rather than portraying a traditional religious image, the works suggest that the spirit of compassion, sacrifice, and humanity embodied by Christ can be found within every person.

The paintings are created through an expressive mixed-media technique that combines drawing, painting, and layered mark-making. Loose, skeletal lines form the structure of the figure, while gestural strokes and textured layers build the surface. The artist works intuitively, allowing spontaneous movements, scratches, and graphic elements to remain visible. This process gives each painting a raw and energetic character.

Color plays a central role in the series. Bright, vibrant tones appear next to softer neutral backgrounds, creating tension and contrast. In some works the colors explode across the surface, while in others they are reduced to calm and minimal areas. This interplay reflects the complexity of human experience — moments of intensity, silence, struggle, and hope.

The figure itself appears fragmented, almost like a visual sketch of bones and movement. This simplified anatomy emphasizes the symbolic meaning of the body rather than its physical realism. The form becomes a universal human presence rather than a portrait of a specific individual.

Conceptually, the series reflects on the idea that the sacred exists within everyday life. The symbolic figure of Christ appears not as a distant religious icon but as a presence embodied in human actions — kindness, work, endurance, and compassion.

In terms of art historical context, the series connects to traditions of Expressionism, Neo-Expressionism, and contemporary figurative abstraction. The strong gestures, emotional color fields, and raw drawing recall the expressive language of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and modern expressionist painters, while the symbolic subject matter brings a spiritual dimension to the work.

Through these paintings, Maria Chabo invites viewers to reflect on the hidden spiritual dimension within humanity — the quiet idea that the figure of Christ may be present in the people around us and within ourselves.
