“The Hidden Angel of the First Light”
In “The Hidden Angel of the First Light” (140 x 140 cm), part of the visionary cycle “The Wonderful Morning Dreams of Alice”, Ovidiu Kloska deepens his exploration of liminal states between dream and awakening, forging a pictorial territory where matter and light fuse into a metaphysical landscape. This ongoing series, developed through recent years, has revealed itself as a diary of inner voyages, a fluid cartography of reverie that dissolves distinctions between the intimate and the cosmic, between remembrance and invention.
Here, the surface breathes with an enigmatic pulse. Vast fields of indigo and violet dissolve into textures of translucence, while radiant outbursts of turquoise, magenta, and crystalline white cut through the shadows like sparks of consciousness igniting at the edge of sleep. It is as though the viewer has been invited to witness the precise moment when a dream crystallizes into image, fragile yet luminous, hovering between recognition and disappearance.
Hidden within this oceanic field of shifting energies, one perceives the spectral contour of a winged presence—an angel not revealed in literal form, but whispered into existence through the orchestration of flowing gestures, veiled silhouettes, and the arc of radiant strokes. This angelic apparition, half-flight, half-memory, emerges as both protector and messenger, a luminous cipher moving within the labyrinth of Alice’s dawn. The angel here is not a fixed figure but a state of being, a fleeting constellation of energy that binds together light and darkness, hope and mystery.
As in the preceding works of “The Wonderful Morning Dreams of Alice”, the painting resists narrative closure, instead presenting itself as a manuscript of the subconscious—a dream-text inscribed with molecular constellations, delicate patterns, and hidden alphabets of texture. Yet this canvas advances the dialogue further: the angelic shape hints at transcendence, offering not merely a dream-fragment but a metaphysical companion for the journey.
Within the frame of contemporary aesthetics, the work positions itself as both timeless and timely. Its atmospheric luminosities and layered veils resonate with post-digital sensibilities of flux, flicker, and dissolution, while simultaneously reclaiming the slowness and depth of traditional painterly gesture. In a world of surfaces, Kloska insists on the importance of the invisible, of the secret forms that live beneath appearances.
Thus, “The Hidden Angel of the First Light” reveals itself as more than a painting. It is a threshold: a place where dawn dreams unfold like wings, where silence becomes music, and where the hidden angel of imagination guides us through the labyrinth of wonder.

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.
