“Forgotten Vase with Flowers Melting into Autumn”
from the series Kafkian Eternity with Flowers at 7 pm
(60 x 60 cm)

In Forgotten Vase with Flowers Melting into Autumn, Ovidiu Kloska transforms the still life into a vision of delicate dissolution — a poetic descent where memory, time, and matter liquefy into the soft pulse of twilight. The flowers, almost evaporated, seem to melt not only into color but into consciousness itself, leaving behind the faint vibration of what once bloomed. The painting does not depict decay; it celebrates the quiet metaphysics of fading — that fragile instant when beauty becomes memory and the visible turns into presence.

The surface breathes with subtle transparencies, as if woven from lace, dust, and light. Layers of misty violets, faint greys, and burning ochres unfold like a forgotten perfume returning in a dream. The vase no longer holds flowers; it holds time itself, suspended in a trembling equilibrium between being and disappearance. Every gesture of paint is a pulse of recollection, every texture a fragment of the oneiric garden where the eternal and the ephemeral coexist.

Kloska’s metaphysical still life speaks to the aesthetics of contemporary fragility — where the object dissolves into aura, and reality drifts toward abstraction. Here, the floral presence becomes a mirror for interior states, a metaphor for how existence unravels into reverie. In dialogue with his previous works in the Kafkian Eternity series, this painting refines the poetics of silence: the still life as a site of passage, where the material world exhales its final light before merging into the infinite.

Through this vision, the artist reinvents the traditional still life as a metaphysical meditation — not on vanitas, but on the sacred persistence of the ephemeral. His “forgotten vase” becomes a vessel of time itself, melting into the soft gravity of autumn, where matter dreams and light remembers.

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.

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."
