Create an image inspired by the quote from Matthew 4:16 - 'The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.' This visual representation should borrow stylistic elements from the aesthetic of the Art Nouveau period, which is characterized by intricate linear designs, flowing curves reminiscent of plant-forms and other organic shapes. Capture a tone of respect and devotion towards Christianity. The image will feature a group of people sitting in darkness, their faces uplifted towards a brilliant light that breaks through the surrounding darkness, symbolizing hope amidst desolation. Avoid the use of any text or words in the image.
