Artist Bio

Sahasa is a Dutch, European artist, who primarily works in sculpture and draws inspiration from the natural world, with a particular focus on ocean and coral reef ecosystems.

Finding an exact starting point in Sahasa's creative journey may be a challenge, as they were creating from an early age and continued to paint, draw and write throughout the years. Growing their skill and experience through dedicated, self-determined learning.

Sahasa began exploring sculptural and transparent resin encapsulation techniques in 2014, and the tactile nature and responsiveness of clay connected immediately with Sahasa, which led to this medium becoming a significant part of their preferred method of creation.

Sahasa's interest in octopuses began around 2017 and since then, they have continued to explore and expand upon this subject through a variety of materials and techniques. Creating lifelike representations of various octopus species, corals and similar themes, sorted into gradually evolving collections such as "Octopus Tea Cups" and starting in 2023 "Sculpted Reef."
