Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas – 100 x 80 cm (39.3 x 31.5 in)
“Feel the Blue III” by Ritchelly Oliveira is a visually arresting work from 2025 that fuses portraiture, symbolism, and bold chromatic contrast. Executed in charcoal and acrylic on canvas, this 100 x 80 cm piece portrays a striking Black woman holding a bird atop her head, set against a vivid orange background. The subject’s calm yet alert expression, combined with the sculptural rendering of her hands and the feathered creature, gives this painting a dreamlike, ritualistic presence.
This artwork stands out for its balance of realism and abstraction. Oliveira’s technical mastery in charcoal brings a deep tonal range and volume to the figure and bird, while the vibrant orange field—painted in flat, saturated acrylic—provides a graphic and contemporary visual punch. The unexpected color pairing and symbolic placement of the bird evoke questions of identity, transformation, and inner strength, making it a compelling choice for collectors of modern figurative works.
The piece is in impeccable condition.
As part of the “Feel the Blue” series, this work reflects Oliveira’s interest in creating spaces of presence and narrative through contrasts, between color and grayscale, nature and figure, stillness and movement.

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.
