About this artwork
Eclipse I
A drop hits water. The surface breaks.
Energy pushes outward, throwing a thin wall of water into the air. Surface tension pulls it back. For a fraction of a second, these opposing forces create a crown.
It looks like a flower, but it is geometry made visible by force. The shape of an impact.
An eclipse is also an interruption. One body crosses another, blocking the light. Nothing disappears, yet the world looks different.
Eclipse I… is a hand-built sculptural ceramic vase in stoneware. Its surface is finished with an experimental mineral glaze, where iron and copper oxides interact during firing to produce shifting tones of black, bronze, and earthy metallic hues. Variations in thickness reveal different expressions of the same material.
Both the water crown and the eclipse exist only for a moment. Here, that fleeting instant is preserved in clay.
The water closes.
The light returns.

Credentials
- Featured artist
- Works on commission
Mateo Aranda is a Mexican-Belgian artist based in Brussels. Trained in physics and photonics, he developed his artistic practice alongside a career in science and technology. He currently works primarily with hand-built stoneware.
His practice begins with fascination. He follows what creates a reaction in him — a form, a memory, an idea, a question, something beautiful, strange or amusing — and learns what he needs in order to pursue it. His scientific background provides tools for researching, experimenting and learning from results, while curiosity and pleasure determine the direction.
Through making, these interests acquire physical presence. He works with proportion, balance and detail, following a form while leaving room for the material to push back.
Once a form enters the world, it can connect, move, amuse, inspire or open a question.
Form generates field.
