Original work by Ritchelly Oliveira (Brazil, b. 1993)
In “Mar Azul”, Ritchelly Oliveira creates a striking visual dialogue between color, emotion, and the human figure. Painted in 2025, this charcoal and acrylic work presents two female figures emerging in vivid contrast: their bodies rendered in deep cobalt and indigo tones, set against a flat, electric orange background. The result is a composition that feels both intense and intimate—charged with silent communication.
The women, subtly connected by posture and gaze, seem caught between presence and absence, motion and stillness. Their expressions suggest inner worlds, where memory and longing coexist. As in much of Oliveira’s work, this piece invites the viewer not just to observe, but to feel—evoking emotion through color, gesture, and silence.
“Mar Azul” stands out for its bold chromatic tension and emotional subtlety. The high-saturation orange background creates an immersive atmosphere, both radiant and unsettling, while the figures' cool blue skin tones introduce a calm introspection. This contrast speaks to Ritchelly's signature language: the emotional dissonance between external perception and internal experience.
Rather than focusing on narrative, the piece captures a psychological state, a space of introspection, connection, and ambiguity. The use of charcoal for contour and acrylic for color layering gives the surface a textured richness and visual rhythm.
This painting is part of Ritchelly Oliveira’s ongoing exploration of human affectivity, identity, and emotional memory, grounded in personal experiences and symbolic language. As with all of his works, “Mar Azul” is not created in isolation—it forms part of a broader, deeply personal visual journey, where each painting is a continuation of his inner dialogue.
Collectors looking for meaningful figurative work with symbolic resonance and refined technique will recognize the coherence, sensitivity, and originality in this piece.

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.
