Behind the Art: The Story of “Yayoi Inspired”

At Lilia’s Eye Candy, every collection begins with a single work of art — created stroke by stroke through the eyes of our artist, Lilia Munn. Our “Behind the Art” series invites you into Lilia’s creative world — exploring the stories, inspirations, and transformations behind each piece.

“Yayoi Inspired”: From Canvas to Silk

Dots. Color. Infinity.

Lilia Munn’s newest piece, Yayoi Inspired, bursts with motion, color, and rhythm — a vivid dialogue between energy and precision. Painted entirely with her eyes, the work layers neon splashes, playful dots, and sharp intersecting lines across a bold yellow ground. The result is a piece that feels both infinite and alive — a celebration of joy, movement, and fearless creativity.

A Homage to Yayoi Kusama

At the heart of Yayoi Inspired lies a tribute to one of modern art’s most visionary figures: Yayoi Kusama. Known for her polka dots, immersive installations, and exploration of infinity, Kusama has inspired generations to see repetition and color as acts of liberation.

Like Kusama, Lilia turns limitations into boundless expression. Through her vision-tracking technology, she paints using only her eyes — translating her vision into vibrant layers of art that challenge convention and redefine what’s possible. Yayoi Inspired is a joyful nod to Kusama’s spirit of persistence, imagination, and self-expression.

Art You Can Wear

The brilliance of Yayoi Inspired doesn’t end on the canvas. Its bold yellow and bursts of color now flow into one of Lilia’s signature mulberry silk scarves, transforming fine art into wearable art.

Each scarf captures the rhythm and intensity of the original painting, allowing you to bring a piece of Lilia’s world wherever you go. Tie it around a straw sun hat for an effortless, artful touch, or style it your way — draped, wrapped, or knotted — to make a statement of confidence and creativity.
