“Mar Azul” (2025)

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.
