石の自然美や重さに興味を持ち、作品の中に無加工の石をそのまま取り入れる立体作品を中心に制作。制作において、石を観賞する水石のように作品中の石がどう映るかを意識し、伝統や形式のある水石に対して現代のマテリアル(樹脂やガラス等の製品)を使い新たな角度から石を愛でる。石の重量が増すごとに支持する事が難しくなり、作品の制作難易度が上がるため、ヤップ島の石貨や秤量貨幣を参考に石の重さで作品価格を決めている。

With his fascination in the natural beauty and weight of rocks, Matsui incorporates unprocessed rocks into his sculptural production. Like in the traditional art of suiseki where rocks are aesthetically appreciated, he is conscious of how the rocks will present themselves, but uses modern materials (such as resin or glass) in his process as opposed to the tradition and form of suiseki, to admire the rocks from a different angle. As the mass of the rock increases it becomes more difficult to support, and because the difficulty of the production increases, the price of the artwork is dependent on the mass of the rock, just as the Yapese stone money or other currencies by weight.
