    Saki

    Saki is a London-based Latin American artist whose practice moves between image, object, and space, building intimate worlds from paper, memory, and found materials. Through cutting, layering, and assembling fragments, she constructs compositions that feel at once archaeological and speculative, as if uncovering traces of a past while quietly inventing new narratives. Her works balance delicacy with tension, inviting close looking while holding onto an undercurrent of disruption and transformation.

    She holds a BA in Curatorship and Art Management and a diploma in Creative Photography, and has worked extensively across artistic production and exhibition-making. Alongside her studio practice, she has curated exhibitions, directed, produced, and filmed art docuseries, and edited and designed independent art magazines. This expanded engagement with the field informs her approach to making: her works are conceived not only as images or objects, but as parts of a larger dialogue about display, storytelling, and the circulation of visual culture.

    Her early artistic formation was rooted in photography, shaped by studies in art history at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and a background in filmmaking. Over time, her focus shifted from capturing images to physically reconstructing them. This transition led her toward collage and, increasingly, into three-dimensional paper works that extend the photographic frame into tactile space.

    Today, her practice centers on collage and paper-based sculpture, often presented as self-contained environments within glass domes, boxes, or other intimate structures. These pieces function like small stages where archival remnants, chance discoveries, and imagined histories converge.

    Based in the United Kingdom, she continues to expand her work across mediums, treating creation, curation, and research as interconnected gestures within a single evolving practice.
