Damien Hirst

Few contemporary artists have sparked as much debate, fascination, and admiration as Damien Hirst. A leading figure of the Young British Artists (YBAs) in the 1990s, Hirst rose to prominence with works that challenged the boundaries of art, life, and death. From his infamous formaldehyde animals and dazzling diamond-encrusted skull to his spot paintings and medicine cabinets, Hirst has continually redefined what art can be — and what it can say.

Whether you see him as a genius, a showman, or both, his work invites us to confront our own beliefs about beauty, mortality, and value.
