Jeske Haak 1997

Lives in Rotterdam. Works in Rotterdam.

Represented by:

Root Gallery

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 hidden corners of nature whether deep within the earth, in the ocean, or in the smallest creatures we often overlook. Through abstract and organic forms, she invites the viewer to look deeper and appreciate the beauty of nature's hidden aspects the parts we don’t always notice in our daily lives.

Working primarily with bronze, Jeske Haak uses this material to give her creations lasting value. The handcrafted textures and unique patterns on each piece highlight nature’s overlooked wonders, placing them on a pedestal in the most beautiful way she can envision. By doing so, she elevates these elements, allowing them to shine with beauty and significance. Her work encourages us to not only reflect on the invisible wonders of nature but to see the beauty we can perceive, inspiring us to look at the world with greater appreciation and value.

The studio of... Jeske Haak

Jeske Haak divides her time between the bronze foundry in Dreumel and her studio in Rotterdam, where she works on her bronze sculptures. Haak has a keen eye for small organic structures such as root networks, tiny insects, and deep-sea life. During PAN Amsterdam, Root Gallery presents, among others, her Flower series, in which Haak makes the beauty and fragility of the underwater world tangible. She uses bronze to capture nature in a lasting form: “Just as nature leaves deep and powerful traces, I aim to create work that lasts as a tribute to the world around us.”
