This is true, but that would be almost the opposite of minimalism. One 
could say minimalism is the art of expressing something using the bare 
minimum of elements in the image. For example whilst you could make a 
tree using thousands of boxes, can you see a way to create a 
recognisable tree with just 3 boxes?

Though, of course, that example lacks the abstract aspect of minimalism, 
but that's well beyond my abilities to explain. e.g. Does the red circle 
make you feel happy? ;)
