The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen. ♦ Paul Klee

An influential figure in the modern art movement, Paul Klee was often characterized by his poetic and playful approach to art. Beyond the physical and the immediate, His work delved into the metaphysical, the symbolic, and the future. When he urges artists to paint what will be seen, he isn't merely talking about the tangible. He is suggesting a deeper introspection, a vision that extends beyond the now, reaching into the realms of possibility, imagination, and future interpretation.

This means that our work on the canvas is not just a reflection of our immediate surroundings or transient emotions. It's a vision of what could be, a dream of what might emerge, a statement of what we hope for. As we approach our art, we are not just passive observers but active participants in shaping perceptions, influencing emotions, and guiding future interpretations. In essence, Klee challenges us to be visionaries, to transcend the immediate, and to mold the future with our brushstrokes.
