Sra dos Remédios

2021

About the Item

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of "Sra dos Remédios," an extraordinary piece that marries the intensity of acrylic with the raw expressiveness of charcoal. This dynamic painting bursts with energy, characterized by a whirlwind of vivid colors—blues, reds, yellows, and pinks—intertwined in fluid, organic forms. The artist skillfully combines abstract expressionism with figurative elements, inviting the viewer into a surreal, dreamlike landscape where emotions take center stage. The title "Sra dos Remédios" carries a profound meaning rooted in medieval language. In medieval Latin had closely related meanings: rescue, redemption, remedy, liberation, and salvation. This is why, in various writings from the 16th and 17th centuries, Our Lady was referred to as Our Lady of Remedy, of Liberation, and of Rescue. This historical and spiritual significance adds a deep layer of interpretation to the artwork, making it not only visually striking but also rich in cultural and symbolic meaning. Each brushstroke in "Sra dos Remédios" conveys a sense of movement and depth, capturing the complexity of human experience. The use of acrylic allows for rich, saturated hues, while the charcoal adds a textural contrast, enhancing the overall impact of the piece. This artwork is not just a visual experience but an emotional journey, making it a captivating addition to any contemporary art collection. Perfect for those who appreciate the power of abstract art to evoke deep feelings and thought, "Sra dos Remédios" is more than just a painting—it is an invitation to explore the depths of the human psyche, with a title that resonates with themes of redemption and salvation.

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...
