After repeating trial and error to complete the work with paint as the leading role, I realized that the more I put on the canvas, the more the action of painting started to take precedence over the paint itself. So I set down the rule of \u201cMinimal Action, One Stroke\u201d and have been abiding by this rule to create my work. The world\u2019s oldest synthetic pigment was a blue paint that was made in Egypt some 3,500 years ago. This was known as \u201cartificial lapis lazuli\u201d or \u201cartificial blue.\u201d It is for that reason that I use blue as the representative color in my works on paint.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ABOUT MUSIC AND ART<\/strong><\/p>\n Both music and the creation of art are very fascinating to me. When I\u2019m painting, I can\u2019t really get the sensation of music in my head, so I don\u2019t listen to music. When I\u2019m concentrating, I can only do one thing at a time\u2014all of a sudden, I\u2019ll have lost a whole day. This happens whether I\u2019m creating a painting or listening to music. When I encounter some pleasant music, I\u2019ll try to listen to it for just a little while during a break, but even still I\u2019ll find myself focusing on it, and before I know it the day will be over. We\u2019ve come to a point in history when people can listen to music any time, any place, with ease. But I think time for just listening to music is very important. It enriches your life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mina Katsuki PLAYLIST<\/strong><\/p>\n
