  Spirit Element: Fire

  Fire belongs to a series of 5 paintings in art-ma’s collection, each relating to one of the classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Space. This collection created by Ovidiu Kloska, is a compilation of abstract paintings, featuring heavy textures in rich colours, resulting in contemporary artwork that is both fascinating and dramatic.

  Fire is a symbol of cleansing and purification. Although the elements are significant across many cultures, in the Upanishad, an ancient scripture from Hinduism, it refers to the elements being used for spiritual growth.

  “From Atman (your inner self) did space come into being;
  from space, air; from air, fire;
  from fire, the waters; from the waters, the earth;
  from the earth, plants; from plants, food;
  and from food, man…”
  – Taittirīya Upaniṣhad

  In this painting the bright bold colours of red, orange and yellow, with the big brush strokes of Acrylic on canvas, create a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.

  Spirit Element: Earth

  Earth belongs to a series of 5 paintings in art-ma’s collection, each relating to one of the classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Space. This collection created by Ovidiu Kloska, is a compilation of abstract paintings, featuring heavy textures in rich colours, resulting in contemporary artwork that is both fascinating and dramatic.

  The Earth element resembles practical and physically active energy, and is the most stable and persistent of all five elements. It represents groundedness, stability, potential and stillness. It reminds us to let the strength of the Earth ground us in our practice and as we move through life. Although the elements are significant across many cultures, in the Upanishad, an ancient scripture from Hinduism, it refers to the elements being used for spiritual growth.

  “The Earth lives within us, not outside of us. The trees are our lungs, the rivers our bloodstream. We are all interconnected, and what you do to the Earth, ultimately you are doing to yourself.”

  In this painting the big brush strokes of Acrylic in shades of brown, green and orange earthy tones sweep across the canvas, creating a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.

  Lotus

  The Lotus flower, because of its unique transformation, has long been regarded as a symbol of enlightenment, purity, rebirth, and triumph over obstacles. While you certainly don’t need to follow a certain spiritual practice to draw inspiration from the lotus, this beautiful blossom holds specific meanings across a handful of traditions. In eastern culture, for example, the lotus is a symbol of revival and purity and in Ancient Egypt it is believed to have magical powers and can ressurect the dead.

  The colours too of the Lotus have some significance. A white lotus, much like the one depicted in this artwork by Italian artist Patrizio Landolfi, symbolises purity of mind and an evolved spirit, whilst a yellow Lotus represents spiritual enlightenment. The Lotus flower is special in that it can bloom in the murkiest of waters becoming the most beautiful of flowers.

  In this piece the lotus seems hidden behind a yellow veil, which can be interpreted as the Artist’s vision of humanity – a materialistic world devoid of any spiritual awakening, unless we cleanse this thought process, the meaning of life and death will continue to elude us.
