Artist: Ovidiu Kloska

In “The Breath of the Unseen Architect”, Ovidiu Kloska constructs a visual liturgy — a contemplative space where sacred abstraction meets the eternal gesture of sacrifice and renewal. This work, rooted in the metaphysical pulse of the God is always here series, transcends iconography while retaining the spiritual gravity of the Crucifixion — rendered not in form, but in force.
The central vertical axis, intersected by luminous gestures and fractured symbols, evokes the ancient cross — not as a literal object, but as a timeless archetype: the crossing point of heaven and earth, spirit and flesh, silence and sound. This is the Cross before doctrine, before wood and nail — a cosmological principle found in all sacred architectures, from the Tree of Life to the vertical ascension of Kundalini, from Egyptian ankh to the cosmic y-axis in quantum mysticism.
The palette shimmers between infernal warmth and celestial cold — burnt siennas colliding with glacial blues — suggesting the tension between suffering and grace, descent and resurrection. The cross bleeds and breathes. Layers of paint appear both corroded and luminous, as if divinity were struggling to reveal itself through the veil of matter.
Central to the composition is a cascade of dotted white light, resembling the Shekinah — the radiant presence of the Divine — or perhaps the matrix-code of a divine simulation. These marks are not decoration, but revelation: silent incantations in the language of the soul, echoing Christ’s final breath — “It is finished” — which becomes not an end, but a vibrational release into timeless being.
The cruciform structure, though abstract, anchors the work in the deep tradition of spiritual art — from Rothko’s meditative voids to Antoni Tàpies’ sacred scars and Anselm Kiefer’s alchemical landscapes. Kloska joins this lineage not by imitation, but by invocation. His work is an altar — not to dogma, but to presence.
In an age of speed, noise, and fragmentation, The Breath of the Unseen Architect invites stillness. It offers a contemplative architecture where each viewer becomes both witness and participant — standing at the threshold where human fragility and divine intelligence meet.
This painting is not simply about the Crucifixion — it is the Crucifixion, reimagined as metaphysical event, as energetic imprint, as eternal structure that lives within all acts of transformation.
