Sasja Houba: Multidisciplinary Art, Design, and Artistic Research

Sasja Houba is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Utrecht, Netherlands, who graduated Cum Laude from the Willem de Kooning Academy. Her practice is defined by a deep curiosity regarding the intersection of humans, culture, and nature. By incorporating practical and recognizable elements, Sasja Houba makes complex artistic research accessible to a wider audience, often highlighting the underappreciated aspects of our immediate surroundings. Her body of work is notably diverse, utilizing graphic design to produce material-led publications and posters, often through risograph and silkscreen printing. In parallel, her work in ceramics and sculpture offers a more tactile and intuitive medium for exploration. Notable projects include 'How to Practice Paradise', which investigates the concept of gardens as modern visions of paradise, and 'Metamorfosen in de Moestuin', a public installation featuring sculptures and audio stories. Sasja Houba continues to bridge the gap between digital design and physical craftsmanship, creating a unique visual language that resonates with both contemporary art and design communities.
