To predict the progression of a nation, you first need to examine how it acknowledges the concepts of art, culture, design, and the elements of Architecture, painting, and other forms of creativity. The world only progresses through the expression of the ideas entwined in the beautiful minds of artists, creatives, sculptors, designers, and visionaries.
An artist who engages the concept holds the future of a nation in his hands, should he choose to explore and share his knowledge. In any nation, country, or society, it is pivotal never to undermine the role of the artists and art, the creative who is actively involved in broadening their knowledge of architecture, intentional investments in these roles would certainly help development and growth.

Therefore, the creation and intentional indulgence of art promise rapid growth, and its collaboration with Science and Technology would propel immediate transformation.
It's apparent how the creative minds of forward-thinking geniuses such as the Finnish sculptor and designer Tapio Wirkkala and his wife, Rut Bryk, a textile designer, printmaking specialist, and ceramics artist, influenced modern art in Finland, among several other notable countries in Europe.

Interestingly, Rut Bryk successfully blurred the lines between Art, craft, and design. She is considered the key reformer of modern Finnish ceramic art.
As earlier stated, artists shed light upon a nation through their creative minds and various forms of art.
