He is particular about the reproduction of Kerama blue which is the color of crystal clear seawater of Kerama islands.To express that color,he studied classical techniques before impressionist and developed a completely new,own method.He pays attention to the details too.He draws fishes and corals with his smallest brushes,and all of them look as if they were alive and three-dimensional.
He creates the fantasy which seems impossible but is actually there.

みやざきすうじは１９６４年山口県に生まれ、日本海に面した漁村で漁師の祖父と幼少期を過ごした。
１６歳で油絵を描き始めた彼は、２８歳の夏、沖縄県慶良間列島の海に魅了され、海をテーマに描くことを決意する。
以来、東京と福岡で意欲的に作品を発表している。また彼はパリ国際サロンの創立会員であり、同サロンでのザッキ賞を始め、ヨーロッパで受賞を重ねてきた。
彼が特にこだわるのは、慶良間ブルーと呼ばれる限りなく透明な海水の色彩の再現だ。このため印象派以前の古典技法を研究し、彼にしかできない新しいテクニックを創出した。また彼は細部の描写にも注意を施す。最も細い筆で描かれた全ての魚や珊瑚は、実際に浮き出て見え、まるで生きているかのようだ。
彼の描く世界は、現実にはあり得ないが、確実にそこに存在してみえる幻視である。
