Kustaa Saksi (b. 1975, Kouvola, Finland) is an artist based in Amsterdam. His works are fields where forms hide and reveal themselves — always mid-growth, never fully caught.

Vision stops being reliable here. Figures surface and retreat. Images fragment, repeat, reassemble into something else. Thread interlaces thread until something appears, and then does not. The logic is fractal — the same structures branching at every scale, through roots and networks. Saksi has experienced migraine with visual aura since childhood, and its logic runs through the work as a system, not a subject.

Finding the right material matters as much as the image itself: paper, rubber, mohair, wool, synthetics, metal, each hiding what it is until it isn't — a practice he describes as “action painting with warp and weft.”

Saksi's work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Royal Academy of Arts, London; Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York; EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art; Design Museum Helsinki; and Kunsthall Stavanger, and is held in major public and private collections, including the Finnish Cultural Foundation Art Collection at Mäntyniemi, the official residence of the President of Finland, and Collection Fondation Thalie, Brussels. In 2023, he was awarded the Pro Finlandia Medal of the Order of the Lion of Finland.
