”We do not paint reality but recreate a formation” an artist said since the artistic process is inevitably subject to the factor of time, change, and distortion when the artist tries to transfer that “moment” to the canvas through the prism of thought, experience, skill, and style. Therefore, it was said, “The vision is always more bright and exciting than its depiction on the canvas.”

Art has always been linked to revelation, inspiration, vision, intuition, creativity, and … the spirit, which made art outside the world, reality and nature, and raised it above the spaces of thought, reason, and perception, so that it became closer to theology, if art had a niche.
