“Entre o Afeto II” by Ritchelly Oliveira, 2025

“Entre o Afeto II” by Ritchelly Oliveira is a commanding and deeply emotive figurative composition, created in 2025 using charcoal and acrylic on canvas. Measuring 100 x 80 cm, this original artwork presents a poised Black woman encircled by three Doberman dogs, guardians whose alert yet calm presence suggests loyalty, protection, and unspoken trust. It is a continuation of Oliveira’s acclaimed “Entre o Afeto” series, exploring the psychological and symbolic intersection between humans and animals.
What makes this piece unique is its visual balance between vulnerability and strength.

The woman’s gaze is serene yet unwavering, while each dog is rendered with lifelike detail, positioned as sentinels to her presence. Oliveira’s mastery of charcoal allows for exquisite shading and texture, highlighting skin, fur, and fabric with sculptural intensity.

The use of acrylic enhances the overall contrast and depth, ensuring a luminous, high-impact visual experience even in subtle grayscale.
