Jeske Haak

More about the artist

Jeske Haak’s work is a translation of nature into hybrid fantasies, inspired by the unseen and unexplored aspects of the natural world. She is fascinated by the places and organisms that remain hidden from our everyday view – whether deep within the earth, beneath the ocean surface, or in the smallest life forms that surround us. These overlooked elements of nature form the starting point for her imagination.

Through abstract, organic and often hybrid forms, Jeske transforms these inspirations into sculptures that balance between the real and the fantastical. Her work does not simply represent nature as we know it, but reshapes it into new possibilities, offering us a way of seeing what we normally cannot. By doing so, she creates a space where imagination and observation merge, and where new life forms seem to emerge.

Bronze is her primary material of choice, not only for its durability, but also for the sense of permanence it provides. The handcrafted textures and unique surfaces of each piece highlight the individuality of her creations. In choosing bronze, Jeske gives long-lasting value to fragile ideas and fleeting impressions, ensuring that what is usually invisible or easily overlooked is made tangible and enduring.

Her sculptures invite us to look deeper and to reconsider our relationship with the natural world. They are reminders of the hidden layers of life that we rarely stop to acknowledge, and of the potential beauty and significance that lies within them. By elevating these elements, Jeske brings them into focus and allows us to experience them in a new way, one that is both grounded in nature and expanded by imagination.
