Original artwork description:

Title: “The Bloom of the Infinite Hour”
In “The Bloom of the Infinite Hour”, Ovidiu Kloska elevates still life to the rank of an initiatory experience, transforming it into a territory of visual and metaphysical revelation. The large-scale painting (125 x 105 cm), part of the series “Kafkaesque Eternity with Flowers at 7 pm”, moves beyond the conventions of the genre, opening a horizon where flowers are no longer mere aesthetic pretexts but cosmic entities, bearers of existential meaning.
The viewer is absorbed into a dense fabric of transparencies, reflections, and iridescence. The flowers, with their delicate petals, seem sculpted from light, vibrating between biological fragility and the monumentality of an inner architecture. The pictorial surface behaves like a translucent membrane: each layer reveals another layer beneath, each contour dissolves into new forms, as though the painting itself were a living organism in continuous metamorphosis.
The moment “7 pm”, so recurrent in this series, becomes the interpretive key. It is the hour of ambiguity, of the threshold, of transformation. Neither day nor night; neither full light nor absolute darkness. It is the instant when reality becomes permeable, when what we know melts into what we dream. Kloska’s flowers bloom within this paradoxical window of time, suspending linear time and transforming it into the circle of eternity. Here, the ephemeral and the infinite converge, and fragile beauty takes on a cosmic resonance.
This work breathes like a lucid dream. The viewer enters a universe where ordinary objects are transfigured and released from their banal meanings. Flowers become constellations, their petals expand like stellar wings, and stems orbit like cosmic axes, indicating the hidden movement of a vegetal cosmos. Everything pulses at the border between dream and reality, between the concrete and the fantastic.
The Bloom of the Infinite Hour is, in essence, an altar of fragility. It presents not only the beauty of flowers, but also their symbolic force — their power to speak about our passage through time. Just as petals fall and are reborn, so human existence is consumed and renewed in cycles of memory and oblivion. Here, flowers are silent witnesses of our condition, but also the promise that beyond every ending there is always a new blooming.
Thus, this painting is not only to be looked at, but to be lived. It becomes an immersive experience, an energetic field in which each viewer projects their own anxieties, desires, and memories. Beyond the materiality of color, it reveals an inner space, a secret that can be reached only through contemplation.
Ultimately, The Bloom of the Infinite Hour is more than still life. It is a cosmic meditation, a visual poem about the ephemeral and the eternal, a territory where reality becomes dream and dream becomes reality. In this painting, Ovidiu Kloska captures not only the fragile beauty of flowers but also the deep mystery of existence, where every moment can become infinite, and every flower — a galaxy.

Constantly fascinated, this dynamism of shape opens up in a unique way, by projecting a way of mind, a mind performance with neurological circuits. This is my magic eye.I believe that by uniqueness begins with the very capacity of inventing universe out of things shattered by time, things that have changed into ephemerity. There are hours that I spend staring at the mud, at the wrinkles of the trees, at the rust of walls damaged by time. It is an exercise that everybody should make. It means worming the spirit, getting in touch with the sublime. I am connected to silence and endless time during the short chat between things. Sublime. Esoteric. And the nigh, that cold, fascinating light that makes things change their meaning, driven by an inner tremble that is known from a previous moment, fluttering through images.

/ My visual relates with spirituality, dreams, unconsciousness, delirium, hallucination, with the change of shape and light, with the spontaneous, illusion, abnormal and normal, bizarre and wear. I was born in Romania, Neamt district,in a small town in N E of Romania at 27 of july 1977. In 2000 I graduated the Technical University Gheorghe Asachi from Iasi, Romania, Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunication. In 2009 I graduated master classes at George Enescu Art University from Iasi, Faculty of Fine Arts with the project Urban wear oniric interferences object of art. I Live and create in Focsani, Vrancea district from Romania /
