Farzin believes that a painter, in addition to having the techniques with painting, should also have a special style to make it possible to talk to people of different cultures. According to Farzin, a painting is one's language to communicate with. Moreover, a painter should desire to enrich art and culture of his or her society, not just to provide amusement and enjoyment. He gives credence in the fact that an artistic painting should be so surprising and eye-catching that could attract viewers’ minds. Eventually, he says that the immortal masterpieces that have been admired all times were created with the power of ‘imagination’ rather than with the ability to see or observe.
