Y.N. (Self-Portrait) (2002) by Yoshitomo Nara is an intaglio print depicting a stylized, wide-eyed child figure with a solemn expression and exaggerated red curly hair. Wearing a blue shirt emblazoned with the initials "Y.N.," the figure is a stand-in for the artist himself, rendered in his signature naïve, manga-inspired aesthetic. The sparse composition and muted background focus attention on the quirky yet emotionally complex character. Created in a small edition of 35, this self-portrait reflects Nara’s recurring themes of innocence, rebellion, and self-reflection.

What is Naive Art?
Naïve art describes a style of artwork that is simple and unsophisticated, often created by artists without formal training in an academy or art school. The style is characterized by a lack of advanced techniques, giving it a childlike appearance. Naïve art often features bright colors, simple shapes, and a straightforward approach to subject matter, reflecting the artist's untrained perspective.
