Minimalist Cat Art
“The Smallest feline is a Masterpiece" – Leonardo da Vinci
I do not see the need to make the Cat cute nor bizarre in my art because the Cat is already a perfect being / a moving piece of art to me.
Instead, I want to express the Cat and her characters with the most minimalist brush strokes –
just enough strokes to cause form, texture and spirit of Cat to be felt.
Perhaps a perfect painting of a cat should be like the cat herself--
Simple yet elegant; free but in control at all times.
–Anita Yan Wong
