“Silence” – Senay Ramada
In the painting “Silence”, Senay Ramada presents an image that speaks without words. The white horse, rendered almost entirely through light and golden lines, is a symbol of inner balance, purity, and nobility. It is not in motion, not in battle, not displaying force – its presence is calm, focused, and assured.
For centuries, the horse has been a sign of power, freedom, and momentum, yet here the artist deliberately strips the image of dynamism. Instead of a gallop, there is stillness. Instead of tension – silence. The animal’s gaze is gentle and introspective, turned inward rather than outward. This transforms “Silence” into a metaphor for inner strength – the kind that does not need to prove itself.
The restrained color palette – white, gold, and deep green – enhances the sense of harmony and contemplation. The golden accents lend the horse an almost icon-like presence, suggesting sacredness and reverence for natural wisdom. The dark green background creates a space of seclusion in which the figure exists beyond the noise of the external world.
“Silence” is not emptiness, but a state of being. It is the moment when strength gathers, thought becomes clear, and movement is imminent, though not yet begun. In this painting, Senay Ramada reminds us that true power often resides in stillness, and that silence can be the clearest form of presence.
