His diverse body of work encompasses installations, sculptures, paintings, and prints. Hirst gained international acclaim for his series of preserved animals in formaldehyde, most notably the iconic shark piece titled "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living." With his audacious and thought-provoking creations, Hirst has cemented his status as one of the most influential and polarizing artists of his generation.
