Meaning & Analysis

The print, made in 2015, is part of the artist’s Psalms series. The series is composed of 150 prints, all of which show spectacular patterns of butterflies. Each print in the series is named after a psalm from the Old Testament, reflecting how the series is imbued with religious influences.

The butterfly has become a signature part of Hirst’s visual language and iconography. The artist began incorporating the beautiful insect into his work from the start of his artistic career, when he was studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths College in the late 1980s. Hirst has continued to use butterflies in series such as The Souls series. Hirst has explained why he is so attracted to butterflies, elaborating that they are a “universal trigger.” The artist explains, “Everyone’s frightened of glass, everyone’s frightened of sharks, everyone loves butterflies.”
