About the Item
In"There Must Have Been an Angel by My Side," the central figure is a black man, depicted with striking clarity against white backdrop.
To the left side of the man's face, a striking contrast emerges as delicate white flowers bloom. These flowers, rendered in crisp detail, create a visually arresting juxtaposition against the darkness of the man's skin. Their pristine white petals stand out vividly against the monochromatic palette, drawing the viewer's gaze and infusing the composition with a sense of ethereal beauty.
The title of the painting, "There Must Have Been an Angel by My Side," adds another layer of meaning to the imagery. It suggests a sense of divine presence or guidance, perhaps symbolized by the flowers themselves. The juxtaposition of the man's blackness with the purity of the white flowers hints at themes of spirituality, protection, and transcendence.
As with much of Oliveira's work, this painting resonates with deeper meanings related to love, fragility, and the experiences of black individuals. Through his masterful use of symbolism and composition, Oliveira invites viewers to explore the complexities of identity, spirituality, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

Ritchelly Oliveira, visual artist, began his work in 2012, shortly after enter visual arts at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), he found
human figure a margin to present his speech about what he
understands the deeper aspects of emotional relationships. He works about what he suspects to be love and, believing that this is a universal feeling. Believing that affective relationships are built from the individual and
as their surroundings interfere with them, he tries to rescue the possibility
to construct discourses about love, especially black love. The importance
to reflect together on issues such as sexuality, responsibility
affective and colorism are necessary canons in this invitation to fulfill the ideals
dangerous and exclusionary forms of romantic love that circulate in our environments.
