Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese avant-garde artist of global recognition, a painter, sculptor, performer, and novelist. From a very young age, she developed an obsessive fascination with polka dots, nets, and repetitive patterns, which have become the signature of her artistic universe. She renders these hypnotic forms across paintings, sculptures, and installations, including her famous pumpkins, flowers, and immersive Infinity Rooms.

A major figure in contemporary art, Kusama sits among a generation of artists who profoundly renewed visual culture, alongside Andy Warhol and Pop Art, Keith Haring with his instantly recognizable graphic language, and Ai Weiwei, whose work blends contemporary art with monumental installations. Her approach to color, repetition, and objects can also be linked to Takashi Murakami, Jeff Koons, Niki de Saint Phalle, or Louise Bourgeois. Thanks to her unique and instantly identifiable aesthetic, Yayoi Kusama is today one of the most iconic Japanese and contemporary artists on the international scene.
