"Roses and Silence After the Applause"

In this painting, silence follows celebration. A ballerina rests on the floor, wrapped in the soft elegance of her long gown, holding a bouquet of roses. Her face is turned away — but the emotion lives in her posture, in her arms, in the folds of her dress.

This is a moment suspended between stage and serenity, between glory and stillness. Textured techniques give depth to the fabric and life to the flowers, while light gently brushes her shoulder. A tribute to the beauty of pause — where the soul, exhausted and joyful, can simply be.

"Roses and Silence"

by Veranika Khvorashch

The lights have dimmed, the crowd has gone,
But echoes linger, soft and strong.
She sits alone, in satin grace,
A smile unseen upon her face.

No need for words, no need for sound —
The roses speak, the night is crowned.
In folds of tulle, the moment stays,
A quiet end to bright ballet.
