H10-3. Theodora, from The Empresses
Damien Hirst's "Theodora, from The Empresses" (2022) is a large-scale portrait rendered as a laminated giclée on aluminium composite panel and embellished with screenprinted glitter, creating a shimmering, decorative quality characteristic of the artist's contemporary practice. The work, published by HENI Editions in an edition of 3,315, commemorates the Byzantine empress through Hirst's signature approach of combining photographic imagery with ornamental surfaces. At one meter square, the print exemplifies Hirst's interest in elevating historical and cultural figures through processes that merge fine art tradition with contemporary commercial printing techniques.
