Series: The Wonderful Morning Dreams of Alice

In "Composition 81", Ovidiu Kloska continues his vivid incursion into the emotional strata of perception, channeling a visual symphony that hovers between oniric reverie and metaphysical inquiry. As with other works in The Wonderful Morning Dreams of Alice, this composition resists fixity — instead, it pulsates with a sense of the non-finite, a flowing dynamic reminiscent of the luminous disintegration found in the late abstractions of Turner or the intuitive chaos of neo-romanticism.

The surface is not simply a stage for colors or forms, but a psychic membrane — it breathes, it trembles. Veils of violet, arterial red, and spectral blue crash and swirl in a choreography of tension and release, embodying a restlessness of traversed spaces — spaces of memory, sensation, and inner knowledge. There is no static object here, only transition. Everything is in flux, metamorphosis, spiritual urgency.

Kloska’s pictorial gesture does not merely depict the material world; it attempts to absorb it, to distill its volatile energies into a visual syntax that feels both ancient and utterly immediate. One senses a hunger for primary truths, not as resolved answers, but as ecstatic processes. This is not narrative painting — it is existential cartography.

What stands out is his fearless interweaving of mediums — acrylics and aerosol fuse into spontaneous marks, recalling both the freedom of the subconscious and the tactile residue of urban textures. Here, echoes may still linger from earlier series like “The Wear of the City”, where everyday matter was elevated to symbolic strata. But “Composition 81” delves deeper — into a cosmos of symbolic implosions and dream-fractured forms.

There is, finally, a subtle violence in Kloska’s mark-making — not destructive, but initiatory. Color wounds the canvas and light leaks through. It is a moment of inner detonation — the viewer is caught not in a tranquil dream, but in a morning dream trembling with epiphany.

Ovidiu Kloska remains, in every gesture of this work, a seeker — one who paints not destinations, but the very breath of becoming.

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.
