About the Item

“Recomeço” (2024) is a charcoal and acrylic on canvas painting by Ritchelly Oliveira, measuring 190 x 150 cm (74.8 x 59 in). A poised, grayscale figure appears at the center with arms raised in a gesture of gentle release, while white doves circle around her, wings caught in mid-flight. For Ritchelly, these birds symbolize moments of fragility, capturing the delicate balance between vulnerability and the liberating promise of renewal. Framed against a warm terracotta backdrop, the brilliant white of the doves contrasts sharply with the deep, velvety shading of the central figure—an interplay that heightens the sense of transformation at the heart of the piece. Technically, Oliveira’s skilled use of charcoal creates a rich textural depth in the figure, while acrylic brings a crisp luminosity to the doves, underscoring their role as both fragile and hopeful emblems of a fresh start. “Recomeço” thus distills the artist’s enduring fascination with the power of introspection—revealing how embracing one’s vulnerabilities can pave the way for personal rebirth.

O tempo que me resta, 2023 - Ritchelly Oliveira
Located in Porto, 13
O Tempo Que Me Resta, 2023 Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas 50 x 50 cm / 13.8 x 13.8 in A meditation on time, introspection, and impermanence, O Tempo Que Me Resta by Ritchelly Oliveira is a deeply evocative piece that merges realism with poetic abstraction. This circular composition presents a contemplative figure, resting in thought, partially obscured by the dynamic presence of a bird in motion. The monochromatic rendering, enriched with subtle textures and intricate shading, invites the viewer into a quiet yet profound dialogue between stillness and flight. Oliveira’s work is distinguished by his masterful use of charcoal, creating depth and contrast that feel almost sculptural. The seamless integration of the figure and bird suggests themes of memory, transition, and fleeting moments. The unconventional cut of the canvas further enhances the organic quality of the piece, making it stand out in both form and composition. This painting is an exquisite example of Ritchelly Oliveira’s ability to balance technical precision with raw emotion. The intimate scale (50 cm diameter) allows for close engagement with the details, making it a striking addition to any collection. His works resonate with collectors who appreciate narrative-driven art—pieces that invite reflection and evolve in meaning over time. The artwork is in impeccable condition, created using high-quality charcoal and acrylic on canvas. The contrast between deep blacks, soft greys, and delicate highlights gives it a tactile richness. The edges are finished, and the piece can be displayed as-is or framed according to preference. Ritchelly Oliveira explores the tension between presence and absence, human emotion, and the natural world. O Tempo Que Me Resta reflects his signature approach—an interplay between hyperrealistic drawing and expressive abstraction. It is an invitation to pause and consider the passing of time, the weight of thought...
