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 KusamaI wanted to start a revolution, using art to build the sort of society I myself envisioned.
Yayoi KusamaI 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 KusamaMy 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 donโt see hallucinations, though.
