Considering the fact that this quote is attributed to an Italian artist, I think this is grammatically incorrect, and that the artist meant to say, "When I know your soul, I'll paint your eyes."

That's easy to explain. The future after "when" is wrong.

It is suggesting that you can see somebody's soul, their true spirit, within their eyes. The artist is saying that he cannot successfully and accurately paint a person's eyes without knowing how to portray their soul.

I believe that quote was attributed to Amedeo Modigliani, and repeated in the eponymous 2004 film starring Andy Garcia. It might have been remarked to the sitter in regard to the painting, Portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne, 1919.

I have been confronted with such sentences many times in my reports, but impressed by is more often in use.The logic behind it is, the quality or amazement is the items by which you are impressed, not with which you are impressed.
