I'm not a Christian but I suspect this artwork is meant to be symbolic and not literally depict what God is or looks like.

Well it's not symbolic if you look what is written in the Gospels and the rest of the Bible, unless everything is symbolic and God is just a figure of speech.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
