Minimalist Cat ink painting
極簡主義 貓藝術
"Cat to me is a simple, elegant and abstract creature"
Short into my cat art –
I was meditating one day about what to paint and a neighborhood cat came into my life,
he decided to take a walk with me everyday and I have been painting cats ever since then.
"Cat to me is a simple, elegant and abstract creature.
I wanted to fully express her characters, yet minimize the brush strokes
when creating these minimalist cat art –just enough strokes to cause form, texture and spirit of cat to be felt" – Anita Yan Wong
