“I want to create a world that no one has ever seen before.”
— Yayoi Kusama
The work reflects the extraordinary momentum of the My Eternal Soul series, in which Kusama produced hundreds of large-scale canvases filled with relentless energy and invention. In My Eternal Life, the interplay of organic shapes and luminous tones transforms the canvas into a declaration of persistence, suggesting that creativity itself is a form of immortality. By uniting personal vision with universal themes, the painting captures Kusama’s lifelong pursuit of infinity and her determination to keep creating as a way of affirming life’s continuity.
