The Beautiful Paintings were totally customisable by – size, format, design, colour-way, and even the title of the artwork. The ‘revolutionary’ artwork blurred the boundaries between digital and physical art creation and has been met with equal measures of success and uncertainty.

One thing however is certain: The Beautiful Paintings testify to Hirst’s technological innovation and his firm grip on the commercial appeal of his art achieving over $20million in sales.
