Original artwork description:

In “Autumn Vessel with Flowers of Dusk”, Ovidiu Kloska translates the still life into a metaphysical organism, where the remnants of matter and the pulse of light intertwine in a silent choreography of becoming. The painting emerges from the broader poetic universe of “Kafkian Eternity with Flowers at 7 PM”, yet it carries a more autumnal vibration — a sense of reflection, decay, and inner warmth distilled through memory and time.
The vase, barely outlined, becomes a spectral container of transitions. It holds not just flowers, but echoes of vanished hours, fragments of dreams, and the lingering warmth of the sun sinking beyond perception. Within its atmospheric ambiguity, the composition oscillates between figuration and abstraction, between blooming and dissolution. The orange and amber eruptions that punctuate the misty greys and opalescent blues are like sparks of thought escaping into the ether — traces of consciousness within the slow twilight of being.
Kloska’s language of gesture, texture, and transparency dissolves the classical limits of the still life. Here, the object no longer represents reality — it reveals its transformation. The painting captures the threshold moment when the visible turns into the invisible, when time melts into color. The air itself seems to tremble with a quiet alchemy: the metamorphosis of matter into emotion, of vision into remembrance.
Placed within the framework of contemporary aesthetics, “Autumn Vessel with Flowers of Dusk” evokes a new sensibility for the still life — not as a depiction of beauty, but as a meditation on impermanence. Through a delicate balance between control and spontaneity, Kloska creates a visual poem where decay becomes light, and silence turns luminous. It is a painting about the sacred pulse hidden within transience — a quiet prayer offered to the hour when day and night embrace.

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."
