Saskia Baetens

Saskia Baetens

Belgian-born sculptor Saskia Baetens builds work bound to transformation and sensory memory. Merging rigorous technical precision with a deeply personal iconography, her sculptures capture an interest in dance, subtilties in movement, dynamic form and flowing line. She explores the fluid boundaries between human and animal states through her signature rabbit-human hybrids—playful yet provocative archetypes spanning ancient deities and contemporary icons. By blending the surreal with critical reflection, she interrogates anthropocentrism and inherited ecological hierarchies. Drawing on literary influences and rural experiences, she constructs an evocative mythology of memory, scale, and primal intuition, forging a world shaped by its own strange possibilities.
