Primordial Germination of Space, 2025
Ovidiu Kloska

In “Primordial Germination of Space", Ovidiu Kloska offers a new visual meditation from his ongoing series “Between the Dark and Divine", continuing to explore the subtle tension between matter and transcendence, between the abyss and revelation. This 60 x 60 cm painting immediately stands out through an emblematic, almost symbolic form, reminiscent of a hot air balloon — suspended in an ethereal, mysterious, almost unreal atmosphere.
This central shape, rounded at the top and anchored at the base, suggests more than a simple object: it becomes a visual archetype. Its upper area, with its diaphanous texture and radiant vibrations, resembles a primordial egg — an ancient symbol of genesis, pure potential, and the idea before it takes shape. It is the egg where thoughts coagulate before becoming matter, the space where the divine begins to form through abstract vibrations.
The impression of idea-birthing is heightened by the luminous core at the center of the composition, where diffused whites and flashes of incandescent red seem to pulse from an invisible nucleus. They appear as sparks of consciousness, seeds of creative energy, or cosmic memories, suspended between reality and dream. The dense surfaces, refined and irradiated with transparency and spontaneous gestures, convey the sense of witnessing a moment of creation, frozen in time.
The thick textures and nervous white lines suggest both movement and a protective shell — as if the entire form were slowly ascending, releasing itself from gravity, carrying within the unspoken ideas of a new world. The graphic elements at the base, resembling scales or organic imprints, seem to anchor this archetypal “balloon" in the real world, maintaining its connection to a telluric memory.
“Primordial Germination of Space" is not merely a space of visual contemplation — it is a space of potential. The artist offers not an answer, but the beginning of a journey. It is the vessel rising into the subtle zones of being, carrying within it the egg of the primordial idea, where darkness and the divine meet to give birth to form.

Ovidiu Kloska – The Artist Who Reveals the Boundaries of the Unseen

Biography and Education
Ovidiu Kloska (b. 1977, Roman, Romania) is a Romanian visual artist recognized internationally for his profound, visionary, and symbolically rich artistic universe. His educational background is as unique as his art: he first graduated from the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications at the “Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iași (2000), then shifted his focus entirely to visual arts, completing both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree at the “George Enescu" National University of Arts in Iași (2013–2016).

Artistic Vision
Ovidiu Kloska's work transcends form and matter, functioning as a visual meditation on the mystery of existence. His art explores spirituality, dreams, the subconscious, delirium, transformation, and transcendence. Through a rich palette, deep textures, and refined symbolism, he creates portals to mystical, unseen realms — alternate dimensions filled with silence, poetry, and inner tremors.

“Uniqueness begins with the very capacity of inventing a universe out of things shattered by time," Kloska declares — a belief that resonates through every brushstroke. His paintings become emotional and spiritual landscapes, merging abstract expression with intuitive ritual.

Artist Statement
"My visual universe is an alchemy between dream and matter, between what can be touched and what can only be intuited. I constantly seek that poetic tension between chaos and order, between darkness and light.

In my recent series Between the Black and Divine, I dive even deeper into this liminal space — a place where the absence of light becomes sacred, and the void itself begins to whisper. Black is not just color or shadow; it is a presence, a cosmic silence from which all forms emerge and dissolve. It holds within it memory, trauma, rebirth, but also the magnetic pull of the divine unknown.

I am drawn to surfaces marked by time — rusted metal, peeling walls, tree bark — textures that carry stories and spiritual residue. They speak to me, not in words, but in vibrations, in a language older than language. I collect these fragments of the world's decay and translate them into my own visual grammar.

There is no separation between the physical and the spiritual in my art. The gesture becomes prayer, the pigment becomes energy, and the canvas transforms into a threshold. I am not painting objects. I am revealing frequencies — fields of tension between the seen and the unseen, between noise and silence, between the wound and the transcendence it can become.

To me, painting is an act of spiritual decoding — a ritual of opening the invisible into form, of letting the subconscious and the sacred collide. Each artwork is not just a finished piece, but a living process, a moment of surrender, and an invitation to the viewer to enter a space of contemplation, mystery, and transformation."
