Matra Functional Sculpture by Andrei Clontea

About the Item

Matra Functional Sculpture by Andrei Clontea Dimensions: W 13 x D 29 x H 36 cm Materials: Ceramics It’s important to note that due to the hand-building process, each piece may present slight differences. This adds to their unique charm and individuality. Open for customisation (size and finishes), provided it enhances the overall piece. MĀTRA is a ceramic lamp which draws its inspiration from the intricate layers of sediments, gracefully overlapping, twisting, and curving within the Earth’s crust, offering a glimpse into the geological marvels that have shaped our world. As it casts a gentle, orange, luminous glow, it conjures images of molten lava silently coursing beneath the Earth’s surface. In this ceramic piece, the volatile geological narrative is quietly reimagined, finding its place in the gentle ceramic form, revealing the poetic elegance hidden within our planet’s most intense moments. Andrei Clontea is a self taught artist who has seamlessly transitioned from the world of architecture to the realm of ceramics. Splitting his time between Luxembourg and Brussels, he has embarked on an artistic journey exploring the infinite possibilities that clay has to offer. His work manifests as sculptural forms that draw inspiration from the elegance of nature, the grace of animals, and the complexity of human body. By translating these influences into organic shapes with earthy textures, he brings a harmonious balance between rawness and refinement. While nature serves as a wellspring of inspiration, his artistic vision transcends its mere replication. His architectural background manifests in his approach as he weaves elements of structure, texture and light into his ceramic pieces. It is through this fusion of natural and architectural sensibilities that his art assumes a distinct character – a dialogue between seemingly contrasting elements. Through his sculptural forms he invites viewers to embark on a sensory journey where they can explore the intricate relationship between human, nature, and architecture.
