Kafkian Eternity with Flowers at 7 PM – May 7, 2025
In this latest piece from the “Kafkian Eternity with Flowers at 7 PM” series, Ovidiu Kloska reaches perhaps the most refined fusion between memory, matter, and visual poetry. The composition is not a traditional still life, but a fragile altar built from the ashes of a deteriorated time—a fingerprint of abandoned spaces and the quiet emotions that haunt them.
The work is directly inspired by a real place—a former industrial park in Focșani, now demolished, which the artist used to pass through, drawn by the strange beauty of urban decay. In a collapsed hall, with crumbling walls, seepage marks, graffiti scars, and moss clinging to cold concrete, Kloska discovered a visual source of immense expressive power. That raw plasticity and the unique palette of time-stained greys became his pictorial language.
This painting becomes a symbolic vessel in which no fresh flowers bloom, but instead, echoes of a forgotten world. The perennial flowers are shadows, memories, visual sediments of passing time. They do not wither—because they never truly lived—but hover in translucencies, among cracks, between layers of corrosion and light.
The palette—metallic greys, oxidized green, burnt copper, and faded white—creates an atmosphere of suspended meditation. There is a subtle pulse of “life was here,” but life has evaporated, leaving only traces in texture and light. It feels as if the painting was not made with paint, but with solidified time.
“7 PM” here becomes a metaphysical dimension: the moment when time slows down, matter speaks, and Kafkian flowers ignite through absence. It’s not an hour on the clock, but an hour of memory. A time when nothing appears to happen on the surface, yet everything stirs beneath.
With this work, Kloska succeeds in turning ruin into sacred space. He weaves pictorial detail with urban residue, vulnerability with monumentality. And amid this controlled chaos, where textures nearly become audible, a new kind of eternity is born: a Kafkian eternity, where time no longer flows but hovers in the inner movements of a flower that cannot die—because it never truly lived.
Sometimes, flowers bloom not from life — but from memory.
This still life is born from the ruins of an abandoned industrial space in my hometown. Crumbling walls, moss, silence.
A painting about time, fragility, and the strange beauty of decay.
7 PM. The hour when everything fades... or begins again.


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."
