To the Point

Keita Tsuji uses pointillism to heighten the color expression in his pastel paintings

- 

I have been pursuing color expression ever since I started painting in earnest. As a result of trial and error, I now paint with a focus on pointillism. I am simply fascinated by the beauty of pointillism. Some painters arrange colors in a theoretically precise way, but I don't care so much about theory. This is because I place more importance on the feeling and improvisation at the time. I love the miraculous harmony that is born when a certain color resonates with other colors. When I succeed in creating that, I feel great joy.
