"Silence and Motion"

Mount Ushba. A mountain known as one of the most mysterious and majestic peaks in Georgia.

Its summits seem to cut through the sky, while the snow on its slopes shimmers with a living light. The painting is done impasto, with thick, expressive strokes. The texture captures the living essence of snow — dense, cold, almost tangible.

Down the slope, a snowboarder glides in a barely visible trail — a symbol of freedom and lightness. He disturbs the silence, but does not destroy it. He is a part of this stillness, and the only movement within this fragile, perfect calm.

"Silence and Motion"

by Veranika Khvorashch

Ushba stands still, while the wind softly sings,
Snow spills its shimmer on whispering wings.
Stroke after stroke, the canvas breathes light,
The mountain — a prayer, serene in its height.

Down slips a figure, a shadow, a trace,
Carving a path with effortless grace.
He doesn't disturb — he flows with the air,
A flicker of motion in stillness so rare.

Like breath in the hush of a crystalline day,
A sign that true freedom won’t ever decay.
The silence remains, yet deeper it grows,
When man simply moves where the quiet wind blows.
