“KLOSKA OVIDIU OR THE DYNAMICS OF THE IMAGE
When approaching Ovidiu Kloska’s works, our attention focuses on certain elements. The first would be a tireless desire to experiment techniques, bolding plastic ways approaches: installations, graphics, paintings, mixed techniques. “The Wear of the City” is an interesting series; an attempt to use common places, as the artist says, so that by transfiguring them, to reveal the artistic connotations of the urban space and his facets regarding the way of perceiving life beyond the immediate reality. Ovidiu Kloska’s creation expresses a restless, but avid spirit that wishes to encompass the best of the visible and invisible material world. Taking into consideration Art History, we can behold, to some extent, what animates the artist towards a Romantic vision or maybe towards a Neo-romantic one which, of course, includes all postmodernist data. His art asserts freedom and his somehow exacerbated desire to express his individuality; but it is even more than that. It is the anguish to include the intangible and to imbed metaphysical meanings within the artistic object. In fact, the term “to imbed” is very inappropriate when discussing Ovidiu Kloska’s artistic approach. The images he creates, frequently human images, present a constant fluidity, a non-finite that we encounter in Turner’s paintings or in the informal of the abstract painting, although the atmosphere they liberate is different. As even the artist sometimes expresses it in the captions or in the titles given to his works or in the series, the oneiric is an always-present dimension in his visual approach. The dynamism of the form or shape captured in a constant metamorphosis is a change that captivates the viewer and impregnates him with those anxieties that dominate the artist. Maybe “anguish” is not the most appropriate term, since I do not perceive any depressive effect within the universe created by Ovidiu Kloska. There is the unrest that comes with space crossing: cosmic and material spaces, spaces of knowledge. This element really exists: a rush to reach spiritual essences, primary responses. No, answers do not appear to be the subject of his works, but the itinerary towards them, the whole process, along with its internal dynamism. How does he perform it visually? I think that the solutions he offers – the present time solutions, because he does not seem to be an artist who settles for a formula, without exploring beyond it – are quite different, but stylistically unified. First, there is the diversity of materials and, second, the valorizing of plastics. What we have before us, the informal, the abstract-figurative game, the sensing of the decomposing or transforming matter, the halos surrounding the figures, the light and shadow alternation, represent a real exploration of the matter, of the pictorial matter, an affirmation of the material world. However, paradoxically, through the manner in which it is treated, it receives a spiritual dimension, this continuous sliding between the material and the spiritual being the internal dynamic of the image that captivates us. The quick brushing, the gestuality that builds and deconstructs the form, the pictorial vibration of the paste and the contained light or shadow – everything moves vivaciously, soliciting and integrating the viewer in the artistic process that seems to take place in his presence. The artist binds human silhouettes, figures, which he seems to challenge. He binds them in a constantly budding and mysterious universe. It is a creation accomplished under imminent revelations whose approach, captured by the artist, is communicated to us in often surprising images.”

“Kloska, seeking the road to Damascus
Certainly, the art signed by Kloska is taking part into the creators major effort to detect and express the essences of human beings, just as it shaped by the all times. Fallen into the subject of the temporal, in a sub-solar space, the humanity find itself forced to twist its spirit, almost mutilate it, referencing to the crossed historical and moral times.
The perpetual metamorphosis of the spirit produced visible traces, often even into the meat surface, at the human figure, where the artist Kloska searched and seacking to capture, through specific tools or effort, almost demiurge, kneading whole inner man, subconsciously placed beyond .
Whether artistic expression occurs in stone, metal or on canvas, she plays, possibly, a certain portion of the mystery that lies in nuce, in the most hidden place of human beings, where the spirit – today as a mustard bean detached from the universal primary fire – is still flashing and keep alive the being state of human nature, spoiled by the original divine gesture of unique genesis.
Undoubtedly, the human universe is as exciting to explore as the outside world as human beings, taking, however, urging the ancient Elders, who left at some point the investigation of the macrocosm in favor of the research of the microcosm typical to human being, so Kloska is taking this route of the ancients over the light of modern art, showing, following the impression that he left to us, as he is founding himself in a deep search of that THING of which many others turned to long time ago before him, respectively the Absolute detection.
Artistic methods means no comment, they completely belong to the author, who seems to be stuck in a sustainable areas, by the very matter in which his artistic approach consists in stone,and also in metal. So is also added, the dimarch on canvas witch is transposing the same stihial trend, detected in the works that had as the base the stone, as it is finded molded by Other hands, namely of the Creator himself.
The acquisition of divine design and the self try to remake a route to the being roots of the humanity – when, she was still finding in her lighter period – is representing a titanic effort for every artist; so, that’s why Kloska himself, taking part at the same investigation, he is working a lot, reminding us of the sisific effort of the mythical character, the same of witch we should imagine happy, especially in the time that he was coming down from the top of the mountain to the base of it, for reassuming the eternally effort.
The throes caught by the artist , on the faces fixed in stone, metal or on the canvas, are showing us the exact last stage of the human existence before the Apocalypse, the event announced not only by the Bible but also by many other great book of humanity, in different times and particular moments; placing us in a spiritual level, where is proper to insist on the idea of the extinction of the actual human kind – the extinction announced also by the Kloska’s artworks – in the sens that is not about a biological disparition, on contrary, pointing to a radical metamorphisms of the world, at a specific moment, so as to have the possibility to reborn again complete, rounded,perfect, as at the beginnings, when it was saying, that it was traversing an absolute age, perfect in all respects, unaltered by further progress subject to time devorated consuming.
Hope that will come a time when mankind will radically transform itself, is rendered by the Angels’s world that crossing the creations of Ovidiu Kloska, a sensed world, based on the true believe of a superior existence to which human beings can tend to their path to Eternity.
Kloska is an young artist, noted already in the so demanding world of the artists. He is continuing to seek the road to Damascus, but on witch we are confident, that one day, he will have the happiness to know it.”

“I cannot imagine how one can possibly see behind this work how much time and effort it took for me to develop this unique space that defines me now. I have discovered angels when I almost got drowned three times the same summer and I pray every time at dawn for God to exist. I have discovered real art in Iasi galleries an in the art albums from the second-hand book seller on Lapusneanu street. I have started then sleeping on pillows smelling like linen, with canvas on the walls and under the bed.
I have never eaten paints, though in the first grades I drunk the water for the aquarelle. And here I am, young, continuously wandering and dedicated, sending invitations to an imaginary park for preserving the soul. Most of the plastic themes used, the symbols and shapes included in my work, are taken out from a reality spoiled by time, and then they are reshaped in a special way in my opinion. The most important theme is the wall.
Constantly fascinated, this dynamism of shape opens up in a unique way, by projecting a sway 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 night… 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 dreams, unconsciousness, delirium, hallucination, with the change of shape and light, with the spontaneous, illusion, abnormal and normal, bizarre and wear.
My name is KLOSKA and I will be you host during your visit to the park of preserving the soul.
