Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Saskia is a contemporary mixed media artist with focus on relief sculpture and figurative painting. Her practice delves into visual explorations of personal reflections, memory, human emotions, their multiplicity, origins and consequences. They are interpreted through the shapes and lines of the human form resulting in primarily monochromatic semi-abstract figurative relief-sculptures. The "im-perfections" and organic formations of the natural stone Saskia uses in her work , often impel her to investigate their potential for beauty and narrative thus fuelling her artistic curiosity and the need to explore the unknown.
The relief sculpture/mosaic technique allows her to investigate the complexity and nuances of textured surfaces and experiment with a multitude of shapes and configurations in a contemporary manner through piecing together; combining/adding form, dimension, depth, pattern, light and shadow.
In her figurative paintings, Saskia’s interest is in the relationship between colour and shape and the interstices (the empty spaces) which together can portray the human shape in so many different way.
Saskia lives and runs her practice in the lower Blue Mountains. She is currently completing Master of Fine Arts at COFA, UNSW. Her work has been exhibited in Australia and collected both in Australia and Europe.
