More quotes by 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
If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago.
Yayoi Kusama
You know, I must really work hard. I'm in the last stage of my artistic life. But I'm so busy that I can't even think of dying. I fly all over the world, drive everywhere, and when I get home, I find interviewers and photographers and TV shows waiting for me. No wonder I'm so busy.
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
I have a flood of ideas in my mind. I just follow my vision.
Yayoi Kusama
My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings. All my works in pastels are the products of obsessional neurosis and are therefore inextricably connected to my disease. I create pieces even when I don’t see hallucinations, though.
Yayoi Kusama
Now our Earth is swarmed with issues such as life, death, illness, wars, economic crises and many others. It is time that we sing out loud the message, 'Love forever.'
Yayoi Kusama
I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.
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
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
Every time I have had a problem, I have confronted it with the ax of art.
Yayoi Kusama
There were times in the past that I got angry at some members of the press whose writings greatly disrupted my serious pursuit of art and my behavior as an artist.
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 want to become more famous, even more famous.
Yayoi Kusama
I wanted to start a revolution, using art to build the sort of society I myself envisioned.
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
My ideas and creativity are the sources of inspiration for me.
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 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.
