This powerful image depicts a portrait of a young Black man rendered in black and white, using charcoal and acrylic mediums.

Adding a dynamic element to the composition, a large bird, possibly an eagle or hawk, is perched atop his head. The bird is depicted in mid-movement, with its wings unfurled and draped over the man's head, suggesting a protective or symbolic presence.

The detailed rendering of the feathers contrasts with the smooth textures of the man’s skin, creating a textural depth that enhances the overall visual impact of the piece. "Metáfora" explores themes of freedom and strength.

Ritchelly Oliveira, born in 1993 in Brazil, is a visual artist who studied visual arts at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG). He began his professional journey in the plastic arts in 2012 and has since developed a distinctive approach to exploring the human figure. Oliveira’s work delves into what he perceives as the deepest aspects of affective relationships, particularly the concept of love. He views love as a universal feeling, yet one that remains deeply individual and personal, often tied to emotional wounds that may never fully heal. His art speaks to the courage required to navigate emotional experiences and the complexities of human connection.

Over the years, Ritchelly Oliveira has gained recognition in the art world, with his works exhibited in both Brazil and the United States, and featured in various international magazines. He believes that portraits act as fingerprints in our minds, allowing us to explore the connections between love, family, and daily experiences. For Oliveira, the portrait serves as a way to both honor presence and address absence, helping to bridge the gap between the living and the departed. His process also allows viewers to identify with the emotions conveyed through these intimate depictions.

Some of his portraits are intentionally unfinished, reflecting the idea that, much like human beings, we are constantly evolving and carrying unanswered questions and unfulfilled desires. These gaps in his work invite new interpretations and meanings, embracing the potential of the unfinished. Although Oliveira’s work now primarily aligns with realism, he stresses that this style emerged organically and without pretense, becoming a natural part of his artistic expression.
