Saks, originally from Denmark, works in still life. These pieces are both watercolor and oil. He uses the "Memento Mori" motif; withering flowers, rotting fruit, burned down candles etc. His work creates a sense of transcience. Saks takes his subjects from various periods in art history, creating temporal parallels and meanings. He lives and works in Berlin.
