Original artwork description:

In “The Dome of Inner Horizons”, part of Ovidiu Kloska’s ongoing cycle Beyond the Inside, the canvas becomes a threshold between the perceptible and the ineffable. Here, painting is no longer a window into the world, but a mirror fractured by memory, dream, and metaphysical resonance.
A dense chromatic atmosphere, dominated by veils of purples, silvers, and spectral whites, suspends the viewer in a liminal zone — a place where matter itself seems to crumble into pure energy. Within this environment, vague architectures emerge and dissolve: perhaps cathedrals, perhaps mountains, or merely shadows of an inner geography, suspended in a state of permanent becoming.
Unlike earlier works in the Beyond the Inside series, where subterranean currents of color suggested hidden flows of consciousness, this painting opens upwards, towards a dome that has cracked under the pressure of light. This fissure is not destruction but revelation: the shattering of an old paradigm of vision to allow the birth of a new one. The fragmented surface carries traces of erosion and rebirth, like ruins of the past transformed into fertile seeds of future imagination.
The contemporary aesthetic dimension emerges in the deliberate instability of form: we live in an age where structures collapse and reform in unpredictable rhythms — political, cultural, digital. Kloska’s canvas reflects this contemporary condition, but translates it into metaphysical language: the fracture becomes an opportunity, the collapse an ascension, the ruin a gate to transcendence.
There is a oneiric quality in this visual landscape, as if the painting materialized a dream remembered only in fragments, with blurred edges and ghostly details. The viewer enters not a scene, but an atmosphere, an inner weather where perception itself is unsettled.
Placed alongside the earlier chapters of Beyond the Inside, this work seems like a crystallization — a moment when the hidden architecture of the unconscious reveals itself not as a clear image, but as a luminous fracture, a dome split open to let the unseen flood in.
In its very instability, “The Dome of Inner Horizons” offers a contemporary metaphysics of vision: to look beyond is not to find clarity, but to accept mystery as the deepest form of truth.

Ovidiu Kloska – The Artist Who Reveals the Boundaries of the Unseen

Biography and Education
Ovidiu Kloska (b. 1977, Roman, Romania) is a Romanian visual artist recognized internationally for his profound, visionary, and symbolically rich artistic universe. His educational background is as unique as his art: he first graduated from the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications at the “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iași (2000), then shifted his focus entirely to visual arts, completing both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree at the “George Enescu” National University of Arts in Iași (2013–2016).

Artistic Vision
Ovidiu Kloska’s work transcends form and matter, functioning as a visual meditation on the mystery of existence. His art explores spirituality, dreams, the subconscious, delirium, transformation, and transcendence. Through a rich palette, deep textures, and refined symbolism, he creates portals to mystical, unseen realms — alternate dimensions filled with silence, poetry, and inner tremors.

“Uniqueness begins with the very capacity of inventing a universe out of things shattered by time,” Kloska declares — a belief that resonates through every brushstroke. His paintings become emotional and spiritual landscapes, merging abstract expression with intuitive ritual.

Recognition and Global Reach
– Over 2,000 of his artworks are part of private collections worldwide, including Europe, the USA, Asia, and the Middle East
– In 2023, he was awarded “Artist of the Year” on the prestigious international art platform Singulart (Paris), selected among more than 10,000 artists globally

Artist Statement
"My visual universe is an alchemy between dream and matter, between what can be touched and what can only be intuited. I constantly seek that poetic tension between chaos and order, between darkness and light.

In my recent series Between the Black and Divine, I dive even deeper into this liminal space — a place where the absence of light becomes sacred, and the void itself begins to whisper. Black is not just color or shadow; it is a presence, a cosmic silence from which all forms emerge and dissolve. It holds within it memory, trauma, rebirth, but also the magnetic pull of the divine unknown.

I am drawn to surfaces marked by time — rusted metal, peeling walls, tree bark — textures that carry stories and spiritual residue. They speak to me, not in words, but in vibrations, in a language older than language. I collect these fragments of the world’s decay and translate them into my own visual grammar.

There is no separation between the physical and the spiritual in my art. The gesture becomes prayer, the pigment becomes energy, and the canvas transforms into a threshold. I am not painting objects. I am revealing frequencies — fields of tension between the seen and the unseen, between noise and silence, between the wound and the transcendence it can become.

To me, painting is an act of spiritual decoding — a ritual of opening the invisible into form, of letting the subconscious and the sacred collide. Each artwork is not just a finished piece, but a living process, a moment of surrender, and an invitation to the viewer to enter a space of contemplation, mystery, and transformation."
