In Angel Waiting - Composition 227, Ovidiu Kloska captures the essence of a dark blue gothic abstract angel, intertwining vivid colors and abstract forms to evoke a sense of profound spirituality. This piece draws inspiration from the rich mural traditions of a small Romanian village, where the echoes of archangels linger in the artist’s childhood memories.

The painting presents a figure emerging from the depths, illuminated by a beautiful cold night light that enhances the color contrasts throughout the canvas. It creates an oneiric atmosphere, inviting viewers into a dreamlike experience. The interplay of deep blues and hints of crimson fosters a visual vibration that encourages exploration of the intricate relationship between light and shadow. Each brushstroke becomes a conduit for emotion, bridging the physical and metaphysical realms.

In Angel Waiting - Composition 226, spirituality resonates through the depiction of the angel, symbolizing a profound connection to the divine and reflecting the soul's journey through both turmoil and grace. The artwork pays homage to the artist's roots, grounding its abstract expression in rich memories and the essence of place. The interplay of colors and forms creates a metaphysical allure, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in an otherworldly experience that fosters introspection and contemplation. This representation of the angel also conveys a philosophical idea: that humanity carries the divine trace of The Creator within.

Additionally, the angel paintings from this series are quite rare and possess a high potential for future value. As Ovidiu Kloska's recognition continues to rise year after year, the artist's market is expanding significantly. Notably, at the latest art auction in 2024, one of Kloska's larger works was adjudicated at a final bid of €12,000, underscoring his growing prominence in the art world.

Ovidiu Kloska's Angel Waiting - Composition 227 encourages viewers to look beyond the surface, inviting them to explore the intricate depths of spirituality and the human experience through a captivating dance of color and form.

Artist Biography

Beyond our ability to understand creation, there are the efforts of artists to explore the realms of knowledge, with the encounter between the bodily dimension and the spiritual dimension, the mystery of the universe. Ovidiu Kloska transposes himself not only to painting, but also to other fields of art, with which he experiments passionately at the frontier between the human and the divine, between the figurative and the abstract. Constantly fascinated, this dynamism of form opens up in a unique way, projecting a form of spirit, a mental performance with neurological circuits. It's my magic eye. I believe that singularity begins with the very capacity to invent the universe from things broken by time, things that have been transformed into ephemera. I spend hours looking at mud, at the wrinkles in trees, at the rust in walls damaged by time. It's an exercise everyone should do. It means worming the mind, getting in touch with the sublime. I'm connected to silence and infinite time during the brief dialogue between things. Sublime. Esoteric. And night, that cold, fascinating light that makes things change meaning, driven by an inner tremor known from a previous moment, floating through the images. My visual work is linked to dreams, unconsciousness, delirium, hallucination, changes in form and light, spontaneity, illusion, the abnormal and the normal, the bizarre and the worn. I was born in Romania, in the district of Neamt, in a small town in north-eastern Romania, on July 27, 1977. In 2000, I graduated from the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University in Iasi, Romania, Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications. In 2009, I graduated with a master's degree from the George Enescu University of Art in Iasi, Faculty of Fine Arts, with the project Urban wear oniric interferences object of art. I live and create in Focsani, in the district of Vrancea, Romania Member of the Romanian Union of Professional Artists UAP My visual work is linked to dreams, unconsciousness, delirium, hallucination, change of form and light, spontaneity, illusion, the abnormal and the normal, the bizarre and the worn.
