Farzin believes that, besides the painting techniques, the painter should also have a special style to make it possible for him to communicate to people of different cultures. According to Farzin, a painting is the painter"s method of communication. Furthermore, a painted should want to enrich the art and culture of his or her society, not just to provide the entertainment and enjoyment.
Farzin gives support to the fact that an artistic painting should be so distinctive and so surprising that it would arrest the minds of the viewers. He says that, ultimately, the masterpieces that have been admired throughout history were created with the power of imagination, not the power of observation.
