This adds to their unique charm and individuality. Open for customisation (size and finishes), provided it enhances the overall piece. Athari Ceramic functional sculptures featuring organic shapes and earth-like textures. The blend art, design, craft and utility, inspired by nature's beauty. Fluid forms and tactile textures turn these ceramic objects into both practical design items and artistic expressions. The lamp's story unfolds as a tale of a wounded heart, seamlessly drawing inspiration from the mysteries of nature. In its quest for closure, it mirrors the fortitude of fallen trees, which appear lifeless but reveal their purpose within aged hollows, offering refuge for resilient life forms. They stand as a testament to nature's enduring spirit amid decay. The soft radiance from the lamp serves as a metaphor for a "retreat into one's inner self," mirroring fallen trees' role in offering shelter within their bark. The light symbolically guides one to an inner sanctuary, a refuge for the broken heart during emotional turmoil. It reveals dormant strength, much like life within tree crevices. This metaphor captures the idea of finding solace within, mirroring nature's ability to nurture life amid decay. This creation signifies that within heartache, innate radiance emerges, a testament to human resilience. It resonates with how fallen trees foster life within their own decay, offering a compelling allegory of closure and rejuvenation. 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. less
