About the Item

Suffocated, 2023 Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas 50 x 50 cm / 13.8 x 13.8 in A striking fusion of realism and emotion, Suffocated by Ritchelly Oliveira is a thought-provoking piece that masterfully captures the tension between fragility and power. Rendered in charcoal and acrylic, the work presents a hauntingly beautiful composition of a human face intertwined with a flock of birds in flight. The detailed monochromatic rendering of the subject contrasts against the warm earthy background, evoking a sense of movement, entrapment, and longing. Oliveira’s exceptional technique brings forth a tactile depth—each feather, each expression is rendered with precision, allowing the viewer to feel both the weight and lightness of the scene. The circular format enhances the immersive quality of the work, drawing the eye toward the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. The theme speaks to resilience, introspection, and the complex relationship between freedom and constraint. Ritchelly Oliveira’s work is recognized for its ability to bridge the personal and the universal, making it deeply resonant for collectors. His approach to figurative art, blending traditional charcoal drawing with contemporary painting techniques, results in a piece that is both timeless and visually compelling. The intimate scale (50 cm diameter) allows for versatility in placement, whether as a focal point in a collection or as part of a larger curated display. This original artwork is in pristine condition, meticulously crafted on canvas with high-quality materials to ensure longevity. The subtle textures of charcoal and acrylic add dimension to the surface, inviting close inspection. It is unframed, allowing the collector to choose a presentation style that best suits their space. Ritchelly Oliveira’s works often explore identity, memory, and human connection with nature. Suffocated embodies his signature style—narrative-driven, rich in symbolism, and executed with masterful detail. This piece invites interpretation, making it a meaningful addition to any collection.

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...
