Nūr Jahān (from The Empresses series)
2022
Nūr Jahān is a contemporary portrait from Damien Hirst's The Empresses series that combines traditional portraiture with modern mixed media techniques. The work utilizes laminated archival color print and screenprint in glitter applied to aluminum composite panel, creating a luminous surface that shifts with light. Named after a Mughal empress, this 2022 work explores themes of power, femininity, and historical legacy through a contemporary visual language. The glitter elements add an unexpected decorative dimension that challenges conventional notions of fine art materials.
