More quotes by Yayoi Kusama
If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago.
Yayoi Kusama
A polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colourful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots can't stay alone like the communicative life of people, two or three polka-dots become movement... Polka-dots are a way to infinity.
Yayoi Kusama
I have a flood of ideas in my mind. I just follow my vision.
Yayoi Kusama
More and more I think about the role of the arts, and as an artist, I think that it's important that I share the love and peace.
Yayoi Kusama
The thought of continually eating something like macaroni, spat out by machinery, fills me with fear and revulsion, so I make macaroni sculptures. I make them and make them and then keep on making them, until I bury myself in the process. I call this 'obliteration.'
Yayoi Kusama
Polka dots can't stay alone. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots we become part of the unity of our environments.
Yayoi Kusama
I wanted to start a revolution, using art to build the sort of society I myself envisioned.
Yayoi Kusama
I think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life.
Yayoi Kusama
I always see these landscapes in my dreams, and feel happy. I desperately try to transform these dreams into artwork, so that even while napping, I construct and reconstruct various images.
Yayoi Kusama
I have a large number of enthusiastic admirers of my art. And they all sing a hymn in praise from the bottom of their hearts for my art.
Yayoi Kusama
I read the art reviews of my work. Some critics understand my art correctly, while some don't. I simply ignore the reviews written by the latter.
Yayoi Kusama
I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art. I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered a path that would allow me to live.
Yayoi Kusama
Become one with eternity. Become part of your environment. Take off your clothes. Forget yourself. Make love. Self-destruction is the only way to peace.
Yayoi Kusama
I would like to dedicate to the whole world a great message. It is a message from Kusama who has struggled to survive as a human being and as an artist, and whose life has been brightly lit and strengthened by her pursuit of truth.
Yayoi Kusama
I am just another dot in the world
Yayoi Kusama
It is my wish to leave a message to the whole world from the universe, a message of love and peace to the people of the world.
Yayoi Kusama
I have been struggling with mental illness and emptiness throughout my life. Now I want people to understand my glorious quest for the truth. Working on paintings is a process toward my artistic creation. It is a new spiritual theme of my whole philosophy for pursuing the truth. Each painting represents a process in all of my art.
Yayoi Kusama
Since childhood, I have been painting, for no special reason, numerous dots and nets, drawing from the hallucinations that seem to appear endlessly. I can't explain why if you ask me.
Yayoi Kusama
I have a lot left inside. I believe my art will last 500 years, 1,000 years and forever. For me, art is everything. I will strive to create works of art until I die, in the hope that my work will continue to touch the hearts of people even after I have died.
Yayoi Kusama
My ideas and creativity are the sources of inspiration for me.
