Description

“Semente” is a deeply poetic composition where nature and identity intertwine in a quiet yet powerful narrative. The contrast between the richly textured florals and the soft, expressive gaze of the subject creates a dialogue between strength and delicacy, growth and stillness. Ritchelly Oliveira masterfully balances hyperrealism with painterly abstraction, allowing light and shadow to shape an atmosphere of introspection and resilience.
The artwork captures a moment of quiet contemplation, where the subject seems both enveloped by and emerging from the flowers, symbolizing renewal, transformation, and the passage of time. Oliveira’s meticulous charcoal technique enhances the depth and emotion in the portrait, while the acrylic-painted florals create an ethereal contrast. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality, allowing the composition to be both striking and serene.
• Ritchelly Oliveira’s works are known for their emotional depth and technical refinement, making them compelling additions to any collection.
• The seamless interplay of hyperrealism and expressive abstraction gives the piece a distinct visual presence.
• The artwork is in excellent condition, stretched on a high-quality canvas, and ready for display.
The title “Semente” (Seed) evokes ideas of potential, growth, and resilience. The subject, surrounded by intricate floral forms, appears as both nurturer and part of the natural world, reinforcing the theme of interconnectedness. Oliveira’s works often explore identity through poetic visual storytelling, and this piece embodies that philosophy—merging personal narrative with universal symbolism.
“Semente” is an invitation to reflect on origins, growth, and the delicate strength within. It is a work that resonates both visually and emotionally, making it a striking addition to any space.

Ritchelly Oliveira

Ritchelly Oliveira

Ritchelly Oliveira is a Brazilian visual artist whose work takes the human figure as a starting point to explore the depths of affectivity. He began his professional career in 2012, developing a sensitive, autobiographical, and visceral visual language. Ritchelly’s work offers a poetic reflection on love, not only as a universal ideal, but as an intimate experience shaped by memories, traumas, and emotional scars. In his creations, to speak of affection is also to speak of wounds: of the courage to remain open to emotional experience, even when it is fractured. In the early years of his career, the artist turned to personal experiences within the family context.

Artist Statement

“There are few places where I allow myself to be as vulnerable as I do in my work. Much of that vulnerability often isn’t visible in the final product, the canvas, but rather in the process behind it.
My work is sometimes like a filter: I take what reality gives me, filter it in my own way, and return it, reshaped by my perspective and by what I felt.”
