About Clio Saskia
Clio’s artistic practice revolves around embracing curiosity, and capturing ephemeral, sublime moments in nature, delving into habitats, behaviours, and narratives with evocative detail and form. Through her work she explores the nuanced evolution of relationships within ecosystems, revealing layers of meaning through exquisite detail, composition, and storytelling.
Clio brings a contemporary perspective to the ancient tradition of animal-inspired adornment. She blends the history of talismans and status symbols, which convey power, spirituality, identity and cultural values, with modern ecological insights, respect for biodiversity, and a love of precious materials. By merging decorative and wearable art with nature, Clio fosters a renewed curiosity and dialogue on our relationship with the natural world, celebrating the vibrant lives of animals – and our own.

Clio’s creations imbue spaces and wearers with a sense of wonder and discovery, inviting engagement with the playfulness of the natural world via the interplay between art and function. Challenging conventional notions of jewellery and sculpture, Clio’s pieces inhabit a liminal space between object and adornment. Utilising historic materials, including bronze, gold, and precious gemstones, she transcends traditional boundaries, creating entities that thrive both as worn adornments and as standalone sculptural objects. Clio encourages a deeper exploration of our connection to and curiosity in the natural world, and the transformative power of artistic and personal expression. Clio creates one of a kind pieces, and works primarily with bespoke and custom clients.
