Homage to Yayoi Kusama “Galaxy”

With all the buzz about the images being posted on social media, from the James Webb Space Telescope I could’’t help myself and had to create something to do with the galaxy.

Below my artwork inspired by the quote from the amazing Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama: "Our earth is like one little polka dot, among millions of other celestial bodies. One orb full of hatred and strife amid the peaceful, silent spheres".

Kusama, who was born in Japan in 1929, is a highly significant and well-known artist in the modern era. In order to create immersive, thought-provoking, and profoundly personal works of art that transcend language and boundaries, Kusama is well-known throughout the world for her unique and eccentric use of pattern, color, and symbols.
