Spiritual Street Art

Stephan Doitschinoff's Work Has a Heavy Religious Undertone

— April 8, 2011 — Social Good
It's not often that one comes across street art that has a spiritual edge (often they have a more political agenda than anything else), yet that is exactly what you will get with Stephan Doitschinoff's work. Thankfully, his graffiti and canvas work isn't preachy, it is simply a reflection of his ideals, imagination and upbringing.

Also known as Calma, Stephan Doitschinoff grew up with an Evangelical minister. Currently based between both Bahia and São Paulo, he is a self-taught artist. This is a truly impressive fact considering how amazing his artwork is in both detail and direction.

Stephan Doitschinoff often blends symbolism, religious art and iconography from various influences including Afro-Brazilian traditions, Paganism, Catholicism and Christianity. Both contemporary and archaic, his work is completely captivating.
Trend Themes
1. Religious Street Art - There is an opportunity for artists to explore the intersection of spirituality and urban art to create pieces that speak to people's beliefs.
2. Mixed Iconography - Using different religious symbols and iconography in one artwork can create a unique and thought-provoking piece that speaks to people from different backgrounds.
3. Non-preachy Spirituality - Artists can create works that reflect their ideals and spirituality without alienating viewers who may not share the same beliefs, by expressing them in a non-preachy way.
Industry Implications
1. Art Galleries - Art galleries can showcase and promote artists who explore spirituality through street art and inspire a new wave of pieces that break away from the usual political themes.
2. Urban Design - Cities can commission artists to create murals that display spirituality in an urban environment and make public spaces more inclusive to diverse religious beliefs.
3. Tourism - Cities with a rich history of spiritual traditions or street art can attract tourists by showcasing the works of artists who explore the intersection of both.
