About the Item

"The Waiting" by Ritchelly Oliveira, 2025 Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas 120 x 90 cm (47.2 x 35 in) A profound exploration of time, solitude, and introspection, "The Waiting" by Ritchelly Oliveira is a visually arresting piece that merges hyperrealism with surrealist elements. The figure, seated in a moment of quiet contemplation, is enveloped by birds in flight—symbols of thought, escape, and inner turbulence. The rich, earthy background intensifies the monochromatic rendering, creating a contrast that heightens the emotional depth of the work. • The seamless interaction between human form and nature blurs the boundary between reality and metaphor, suggesting themes of transition, patience, and reflection. • Oliveira’s masterful control of charcoal lends a sculptural quality to the figure, while the acrylic-painted birds appear almost weightless, enhancing the sense of movement. • The ochre-toned background enriches the composition, adding warmth and grounding the subject within a timeless, dreamlike space. • Ritchelly Oliveira is recognized for his ability to capture human emotion with a poetic, thought-provoking approach. His work resonates deeply with those who appreciate art that transcends the figurative. • The monochromatic detailing combined with the striking background makes this an impactful piece that commands attention in any setting. • The artwork is in excellent condition, professionally stretched on a high-quality canvas, and ready for immediate display. In "The Waiting", Oliveira explores the emotional weight of anticipation. The figure, caught between stillness and motion, represents the universal experience of waiting—whether for change, resolution, or understanding. The birds, fluid and restless, contrast with the grounded pose, emphasizing the tension between physical presence and wandering thoughts. "The Waiting" is a deeply expressive and contemplative work, a reminder of the passage of time and the silent conversations we have with ourselves in moments of stillness.

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...
