Yayoi Kusama

Self-Portrait

A mesmerizing self-portrait by the iconic Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, rendered in etching on delicate Izumi paper with full margins intact. The work reflects Kusama's signature obsessive visual language, likely incorporating her trademark polka dots and repetitive patterns that blur the boundary between self and infinity. Created with precise intaglio technique, the print showcases the rich tonal depth and fine detail that etching on handmade Japanese paper so beautifully preserves.
