Original artwork description:

“The Hidden Calligraphy of Soft Moss and Time”
“The Hidden Calligraphy of Soft Moss and Time” (60 x 60 cm), part of Ovidiu Kloska’s series Between the Dark and Divine, appears less as a painting and more as a mindscape — a vision perceived like an image resting at the bottom of a soft, clear mountain river. The surface of the water becomes a veil of purity, magnifying the depths beneath, where colors, textures, and fractures shimmer like memories suspended between matter and spirit.
The chromatic field unfolds in gradients of deep green, gray, and muted light, recalling ancient walls covered in moss, shaped by centuries of wind, rain, and silence. Cracks and chromatic degradés do not signify ruin, but endurance: inscriptions written by time, a hidden calligraphy of erosion and persistence. Like the moss itself, the painting speaks in whispers — a script where fragility turns into strength, and decay is transfigured into luminous testimony.
Light does not descend from outside but wells up from within, refracted as if through crystalline currents. Splashes and spectral geometries scatter into constellations across the surface, evoking both the organic persistence of nature and the fractured beauty of contemporary aesthetics, where images dissolve into pixels yet reveal hidden orders. This watery perception amplifies the oneiric aura: reflection and immersion, surface and depth, transparency and opacity merge into a single moving equilibrium.
Within the wider arc of Between the Dark and Divine, the work affirms that light is never pure or untouched — it is always filtered, fractured, and deepened through matter, time, and shadow. Like weathered stone glowing softly under moss, or like an image glimpsed through the crystalline waters of the mountains, the human spirit too carries its cracks as luminous thresholds. “The Hidden Calligraphy of Soft Moss and Time” thus becomes not merely a painting, but a portal: a cartography of memory and endurance, where shadow and radiance, fragility and eternity coexist in sacred balance.

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 /
