I am just another dot in the world
Yayoi Kusama
Image
I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.
Yayoi Kusama
Image
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.

Image
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.

My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots.
Yayoi Kusama
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My ideas and creativity are the sources of inspiration for me.
Yayoi Kusama
Image
I believe that eyes are very important motifs. Thats something that can discern the peace and love.
Yayoi Kusama
Image
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.

Image
Every time I have had a problem, I have confronted it with the ax of art.
Yayoi Kusama
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
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.
