Saskia Tossaint is a Dutch sculptor and goldsmith who explores how people cope with major life changes. She uses her art to express and process her own experiences. Her work has both an intimate and a universal dimension. The feelings and situations people encounter are unique, but they also share commonalities. Saskia believes that visual art creates a deeper connection than words because it leaves room for individual interpretation. When she feels the need to guide the viewer, she uses poems that also leave room for interpretation. By conveying her feelings through art, she wants to comfort others and remind them that they are not alone in their challenges.
Saskia is committed to ecological sustainability and uses found and recycled materials, as well as environmentally friendly production methods, in her art. In doing so, she wants to show that protecting nature inspires creativity rather than limiting it. Through practical tips on her blog, she encourages others to adopt sustainable (art) practices.
