If you can send a telescope to see the highly focused light of an expolanet thats 20 light years away using the Einstein ring our Sun's gravity makes, you can send a laser there to draw things on the exoplanet.

So I've read about gravitational lensing around our sun and that if we were able to send a telescope to a very distant and specific point, the gravitational lensing of our sun would allow us to view an exoplanet in extreme detail. So if we had very powerful lasers, could we theoretically do the opposite of recieving light and instead set the lasers up at these points and direct them at planets, using the sun's gravity as a powerful lens, to draw on planet surfaces universe sandbox style?
