Original artwork description:

A Way to Infinity in Serene Light is a contemplative gesture suspended between atmosphere and emotion — a piece within the Beyond the Inside series where Ovidiu Kloska explores the fragile territory between silence, abstraction, and transcendence.
At the heart of this work lies a foggy, ethereal atmosphere, rendered in soft layers of pearlescent white, distant blue, and muted bronze, which gives the entire surface a metaphysical latent energy. This fog is not emptiness, but potential — a charged stillness that holds unspoken meanings, waiting to be felt rather than explained. Like memory half-remembered or dreams just before waking, the painting dissolves the boundaries between form and formlessness, allowing space itself to become the subject.
The atmosphere evokes a deeply enigmatic feeling of contemplation, aligning Kloska’s work with a lineage of artists who use mist, light, and abstraction to stir the soul. There are echoes of J.M.W. Turner's dissolving seascapes, where light swallows detail and becomes the true protagonist; of Mark Rothko, whose glowing color fields invite spiritual inwardness; and of Gerhard Richter’s abstract veilings, which conceal as much as they reveal. In a more contemporary vein, Kloska shares sensibilities with artists like Per Kirkeby, Zao Wou-Ki, and Hiroshi Sugimoto — all of whom embrace fog, erosion, and light as vehicles for transcendental presence.
In this painting, eclectic contemporary abstraction meets the language of conceptual landscape. While the work resists literal interpretation, it still suggests a vast internal topography — perhaps the ruins of thought, the architecture of silence, or the edges of inner infinity. Structures and paths appear faintly within the luminous veil, grounding the viewer momentarily before allowing them to drift once more into stillness.
A Way to Infinity in Serene Light is not merely visual — it is sensorial and emotional. It offers the viewer a passage inward, where serenity is not static but gently breathing, and where infinity is found not in distance, but in the quiet unfolding of presence.
