This series of artworks refers to the metaphysical approach to space populated by a pot with flowers, a near seen like a section of a personal
temporal eternity, where the vegetative elements are transfigured into the metaphysical, transcendent .Thus, at the limit figuration, the immanents of the light becames oniric reflections and transparents, the flower shape became sphere, within which persist the traces of the pass, of the wear, the cyclicity. The series title, although apparently suggestive, is not refering to the absurdity and anguish prosaic present in Kafka's universe, but rather its starts from the idea of freezing of the personal physical time, by a simple meditative exercise of pure contemplation of the close realities transformed by the passing of time.
For me, as an artist, the still life is a perfect excuse to create a vibrant game between the idea of the volatility and the perennial of the world
that we perceive around us, and the essence of the human spirit: the conscience.
My "flowers" are subtle expressions of a meta-reality, where the viewer is invited to meditation, to exercise his spirit, to discover that energy, that forsure we all have it inside us, that resonates with the silence of the begining of begining.

If you manage to reach me in this presentation page is not by random. I don't belive in coincidence. It means that we are vibrating on the same frequency on this existence and we understand the world in the same way. I am not an "easy" artist, my works are elaborate pieces of art and my universe was biuld in many years of searching and hard work. My collectors are designing their all space by my art and they are not selecting the painting to match with the couch. I think I am one of the best, original, creative and spiritual abstract painting in the world. I don't seek celebrity, fortune, I am just greatfull to be able to keep creating every day and have a normal life with my family. I have created many artworks, I have pieces all over the world and I hope, in time, my art will grow and will be recongnise as one of the important one in art history. I am confident that I will leave a great legacy for the next generations.
But, first of all, I am trying to give a certain allure to the works, and I think my stamp is very much related to the approach to light and the treatment of light in painting. I am very interested in the ephemerality we encounter around us. I am influenced and inspired a lot by walls in run-down areas, cracked pavements, rusted fences. There is an absolutely fascinating plasticity in these areas, and my art has a lot of elements, structures and terra-morphisms that I discover in these walks that I do and that I sometimes record and photograph because the details are easily forgotten.
I have several series of works; I remember the first series, which was more unified, better defined: it was the theme of angels. I really liked the idea of humanizing the angel and trying to paint certain compositions where the inhabitant of the interval, the angel, seems somewhat trapped in our world. Thanks to these angels, critics, at least in Romania, attach an interesting approach to the angel and appreciate "Kloska's Angels" because they are very good works in this artistic area.

Then I really liked to approach the idea of landscape differently in the sense of openness, of dense forest with clearings, but starting from figurative elements, I move into an area of universal creation. For me the initial form, for example that of the tree, is very important, but then I try to generate certain steps of modification of the main symbol and in this way I made a series that I called "Beyond the Inside" which for me is by far the most interesting and elaborate. I have another series of works, "Kafkian eternity with flowers at 7 pm", where I delicately approach the theme of static nature. I'm very interested in personal time, and even though it's widely used by many artists, I find it a fascinating theme because it's very generous for my creative space. More recently I started a cycle, "Between Black and Divine", recalling my beginnings as a painter. I am very interested in the idea of darkness seen as lack and non-creation. In these compositions, I create a special contrast between light, which for me means dynamism, creation, passage, and I play with a symbolism of universal spirituality that goes beyond the human towards Divinity and the Creator. If God comes to the opening, he will study my paintings in this series very carefully and will want to know the author.
There are many years in which I experimented because, from my point of view, the painting I do requires a high degree of experimentation. Of course I have formed certain skills, certain techniques over time, I have developed certain compositional games, and I usually do not start from a sketch, but have certain gestural automatisms and spontaneities. The paintings are elaborated in stages, especially because I work a lot horizontally through scraping techniques, depositing the color in a more watery state. I work a lot with washes, with transparencies, with interventions, and then for me the experiment is very important.
Over the years I have "connected" to several themes and it has been very easy for me to just look around and be more sensitive to what is going on. A few years ago I lost someone dear, a grandmother who raised me in my early years and who was absolutely shockingly simple, but at the same time a kindness and a human quality that you rarely find. After the loss of my grandmother I started a series with the title "I would like to die in another galaxy", and the works in this cycle were more figurative. I got a little closer to the idea of passing, of death, but death seen as a journey, as a passage somewhere in another spatiality, in another temporality. I am very inspired by the passage of time and the intervention of time on us and on the things around us. So is light, the play of light, the metamorphosis of light, the changing valences of light, and man. Even if my works seem devoid of silhouettes, they are loaded with my experience as a human being, as a spirit, as a creator. Because we artists are essentially creators.
