Thinking of new ways to encourage creativity , we opened a space right here on the Femingos Empório Criativo website to share tips and talk about art .

We artists know it's not always easy to maintain a creative outlook on the world after we grow up. It seems like everything works together to limit us to daily tasks and concerns, reserving whatever creativity we have left for leisure time. Still, I think it's somehow ingrained in the core of all of us to believe that things don't have to be this way and that creativity can be applied far beyond drawings, paintings, sculptures, or performances.
Art is everywhere!
When I talk about art , I don't just mean what we see in museums - just as when I talk about artists, I don't just think about the person in their studio dressed in a white lab coat stained with multicolored paints, questioning the fate of their latest masterpiece.
Being an artist can also mean a way of life in which solutions to a wide variety of problems are found through creativity . The artist sees nothingness and transforms it into something; he or she isn't content to stand still and makes things happen. He or she transforms an entire society by combating any act of destruction with acts of creation —and all of this translates into a much more poetic form in our Creative Manifesto .
Let's go together?
This new section of the website was created with the aim of, in yet another way, going beyond the definitions of a "brand" and fighting for what we believe in: the existence of a creative community driven by art and capable of changing the world around it.
So, expect to find tips for a more creative life , reflections on art , recommendations, and inspiring stories here . And whenever you want to talk, the comments section is open—after all, this isn't and never will be a one-person conversation.
"Creativity is a powerful tool, which is why it has been feared by authority figures from Plato to Putin. It is how we express ourselves. It gives voice to democracy and shapes civilizations. It is a platform for ideas and an agent of change. We must treat it with respect, and both as creators and as citizens, strive to always maintain an open mind and a generous spirit."
