Usually Art is associated to the creation of new languages, like new worlds that the artist "sees” before they are born. It is not discovery because that implies finding something that already was there. Instead, “to create” is to produce something out of nothing, like God.

We rather like to say that Art transforms. As Gracián said: from a wasteland art can make a paradise. Without forgetting that a new seed is sown on land wich has been worked many times. This, the land, is the path that we share since ancient times, like the languages that permit us to understand each other.

In this way, the artist is as much a visionary of the future as an executor
of the past. He would be able to see equally the garden that it can be, the paradises that have been and the inherited wasteland. As Paul Klee says in the enigmatic words of its epigrah: "I live as much with dead men as with the unborn. A bit closer to the creation than usual although not close enough." (Denn ich wohne grad gut bei den Toten wie bei den Ungeborenen. Etwas näher dem Herzen der Schöpfung als üblich und noch lange nich nahe genug)
