Mineko Yoshida

Artist Statement:

There are endless possibilities in the art of abstraction. Formal concerns such as structure, color, and paint application are simply the means, not the end for me. I have been searching for specific images that can be created by those means, the images that elicit particular emotions: optimistic feeling, positive attitude, and cheerfulness.
