He is best known for his expressive and dynamic sculptures, which often depicted mythological and emotional themes. His work contributed significantly to the development of Hellenistic art, emphasizing realism and dramatic poses. One of Scopas's most famous works is the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, a monumental tomb built for Mausolus, a Persian satrap.
