There was a really nice painting of butterflies...quite simple. I liked that. Then when I tried to find others they were all quite "busy". I can't seem to copy the first one. Ah....I did copy it in the end.

A leading figure of the provocative Young British Artists, Damien Hirst garnered international attention with his striking works that examine the fleeting nature of life. Referred to as memento mori, this is in fact a traditional theme found throughout art history. Hirst breathes new life into the subject with his dazzling use of shocking materials and a glossy contemporary aesthetic. Overwhelming Lovebelongs to the artist’s iconic series of butterfly paintings which beautifully capture the tension between life and death.
