Damien Hirst’s Love butterfly series is part of his long-standing fascination with butterflies, which he has used since the 1990s as powerful symbols of life, death, beauty, and the soul. The Love series consists of prints and sometimes small-scale works made with butterfly wings arranged in symmetrical, mandala-like patterns—often forming the shape of a heart or incorporating heart motifs. The Love butterfly pieces belong to Hirst’s broader exploration of themes like the tension between beauty and death. The butterflies—beautiful but short-lived—mirror the fleeting nature of love and life itself.
