Yayoi Kusama Quotes

I never have a plan of what I am going to draw Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

People ask about art and commercialism. I think that if someone tries to sell their work at a high price, that is the wrong way of doing it Picture Quote #1

New York is the place that made my and other artists’ dreams come true by giving us a chance to realise our ideas and concepts. It was a great place for making a presentation of artistic creation Picture Quote #1

Georgia O’Keeffe proposed that I live with her. She was in New Mexico then, and I wanted to be in New York Picture Quote #1

In my home country, there was a little shop with old books, but it was really in the countryside. You couldn’t find English books. I found this very avant-garde American art book that had information about Georgia O’Keeffe. I was very much impressed by her Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am putting every effort toward creating my works from morning till night on every single day Picture Quote #1

Since my childhood, I have always made works with polka dots. Earth, moon, sun and human beings all represent dots; a single particle among billions Picture Quote #1

I have done all the work myself, not assistants. That’s why I’m in a wheelchair: I’ve been doing it physically - it’s hard labour - throughout my life Picture Quote #1

I have been taking every step toward the future every day through making many paintings and sculptures with my deep emotion hidden in my life Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter at all for me that I work in hospital or anywhere with limited space. Every day, I’m creating new works with all my might Picture Quote #1

When I was a child, I used to paint intently. The older I become, and the closer death approaches, the brighter my life gets day by day Picture Quote #1

Painting bodies with the patterns of Kusama’s hallucinations obliterated their individual selves and returned them to the infinite universe Picture Quote #1

My mother was against me being an artist. She just wanted me to marry a rich man Picture Quote #1

My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings Picture Quote #1

Suppose I put polka dots all over my body and then cover my background completely with polka dots. The polka dots on my body, merging with those in the background, create an optically strange scene Picture Quote #1

With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe. Pursuing philosophy of the universe through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call stereotypical repetition Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots Picture Quote #1

I am just another dot in the world Picture Quote #1

I have a flood of ideas in my mind. I just follow my vision Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I wanted to start a revolution, using art to build the sort of society I myself envisioned Picture Quote #1

I believe that eyes are very important motifs. Thats something that can discern the peace and love Picture Quote #1

Every time I have had a problem, I have confronted it with the ax of art Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
