Spirit Element: Air
£ 95.00 – £ 990.00 BUYAir 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.
Air is a symbol of our soul, divinity, breath and strength and consciousness. 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 UpaniṣhadIn this painting the big brush strokes of Acrylic in shades of blue, brown, yellow and green sweep across the canvas like the wind, creating a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.
Artist: Ovidiu Kloska, Original Media: Acrylic on Canvas

Rod of Asclepius
£ 90.00 – £ 400.00 BUYThe Rod of Asclepius is the most prominent symbol of healthcare, healing and medicine in the modern world. Its origins, however, can be traced back to Greek mythology and represents the medical prowess of the demi-God Asclepius, who was known for his healing powers.
The Rod of Asclepius includes two elements. The staff, which is a symbol of authority and a serpent coiled around it. According to Greek mythology, Asclepius got his medical knowledge through whispering snakes, who have the ability to shed their skin and emerge healthier than before. They, therefore, represent rebirth and rejuvenation.
Artist Ovidiu Kloska marries these two worlds to create his visually stunning interpretation of this symbol that was commissioned by Art-ma.
