    Yayoi Kusama’s Flower Bloomed in My Heart (2011) is a silkscreen and etching with embossing on paper, measuring 58.5 × 56.5 cm, produced in an edition of 30. The work presents her celebrated floral motif, enriched here with layered texture and embossed detail that add depth to the surface. Bold lines and graphic clarity give the composition a striking presence, continuing her exploration of nature as a vehicle for both joy and psychological intensity.
     
    In this print, the flower is reimagined not as a naturalistic image but as a symbolic form. Its rhythmic patterns and heightened contrasts reflect Kusama’s interest in cycles of life and growth, while the tactile surface created through embossing reinforces the physicality of her vision. The combination of vibrant colour and material depth transforms a simple subject into a meditation on memory, endurance, and renewal.

  • “When I create art, it is an attempt to survive.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her later editioned works, Flower Bloomed in My Heart demonstrates Kusama’s ability to merge traditional printmaking with experimental techniques. The result is a work that captures both the immediacy of her graphic language and the complexity of her lifelong themes, reaffirming her position as one of the most influential artists of her time.
