Cess - D for Damien Hirst — The Artphabet

D for Damien Hirst — The Artphabet
Edition 5/10 — 60 x 60 cm

This work is part of The Artphabet, an artistic project developed by digital artist Cess, in which each letter of the alphabet pays tribute to key figures in contemporary art.

In this piece, the letter D becomes a tribute to Damien Hirst, reinterpreting his conceptual universe through a clean, clinical, and highly recognizable aesthetic. The letter is presented as a translucent structure containing an aquatic environment inside, directly evoking the artist's iconic vitrines.

The presence of the shark suspended inside the volume recalls one of Hirst's most emblematic works, translating his artistic language — grounded in preservation, life, and death — into a contemporary typographic form. The piece creates a balance between beauty, tension, and contemplation, maintaining a strong symbolic charge.

Created through a completely digital 3D (CGI) process, the work has been crafted with an artisanal approach, paying special attention to materials, lighting, and the sense of depth, achieving a realistic appearance that reinforces its visual impact.

The Artphabet has enjoyed broad international reach, being disseminated in numerous design, art, and visual culture outlets, establishing itself as one of the most prominent artistic typography projects in the recent digital realm.

Cess is an artist specialized in digital art, CGI, and artificial intelligence, with an established track record in the creative sector, having collaborated with international brands such as Apple, Google, Prada, Vogue, and MTV, among others.

The work is presented in high-quality Giclée print on poly/cotton canvas, ensuring excellent reproduction of the detail, color, and texture of the original digital work.
