Nurturing Creativity at Royan BookCity:
On Saturday, October 24, 2025, Royan BookCity hosted a one-day “Creative Painting” workshop led by the esteemed Master Faez. The workshop aimed to guide artists and enthusiasts in discovering fresh ideas, overcoming creative blocks, and transforming personal experiences and emotions into visual expression.
Painting is more than brush and color; it is a lens through which we re-see the world and translate thoughts and feelings onto canvas. Yet, even the most inspired artist can struggle to find new ideas. In this workshop, Master Faez shared practical techniques to spark creativity, teaching participants how disciplined practice, curiosity, and exploration can open pathways to innovative and original works.
To illustrate the process of cultivating creativity, Master Faez employed the metaphor of an orange: just as a fruit grows from a tiny seed through continuous care and attention, an idea matures through persistent nurturing, trial, and refinement. What the audience ultimately sees—the final artwork—is the culmination of unseen effort, study, and experimentation. The artist must honor this process to achieve truly luminous results.
The workshop emphasized the central role of creativity in all design and visual art projects. Without it, works risk repetition and cliché. By experimenting with unexpected combinations, shifting perspectives, and incorporating personal experiences, artists can craft experiences that are unique, engaging, and memorable for their audiences.
Master Faez also highlighted the practical applications of creative thinking: in today’s competitive world, originality is not just an aesthetic virtue—it is a tool for distinction, effective communication, and problem-solving. Creativity, therefore, is both an artistic pursuit and a professional necessity, empowering artists to make meaningful impact.
This event reflects Royan BookCity’s commitment to fostering artistic expression and providing a platform where imagination, skill, and mentorship intersect. By hosting workshops like this, BookCity cultivates spaces where creativity thrives and participants leave inspired to transform their inner visions into tangible, impactful works of art.
