The abstract and contemporary approach to the use of glass and color departs from the traditional Christian symbolism of stained glass, which usually features concrete depictions of saints, biblical scenes, or symbols. However, even in this abstract form, the exploration of potential symbolism and meanings through an innovative approach to symbolism remains relevant.
Contemporary studies of stained glass art allow us to analyze the impact of abstraction on perception and interpretation. Changing styles and techniques can have an impact on aesthetic and spiritual perception, offering new forms to be integrated into contemporary art and architecture.
Of particular importance in abstract stained glass is the viewer's personal immersion in the work. Due to the open-ended nature of abstraction, each viewer can find their own symbols, archetypes or interpretations within it, making each viewing a unique experience.
These personal revelations and interactions enrich the emotional and intellectual sides of perception, making the stained glass not just an object of observation, but an active participant in a dialog with the viewer.
