Descrição

“Sofia” (2024) is a charcoal and acrylic on canvas painting measuring 90 x 70 cm (35.43 x 27.55 in) by the artist Ritchelly Oliveira. This piece merges the velvety quality of charcoal with the gentle luminosity of acrylic, resulting in a striking portrait that juxtaposes a grayscale figure with vibrant floral accents. The flowers, painted in soft yet radiant tones, serve as symbolic emblems of overcoming obstacles, each petal suggesting a new chapter of personal renewal. The figure’s contemplative gaze evokes quiet confidence, while the surrounding blooms create a visual narrative of hope and transformation. Technically, Oliveira’s skill is evident in his subtle transitions of light and shadow, which lend the central subject a sense of depth and realism, and in his refined application of acrylic that breathes life into the delicate floral details. “Sofia” represents an evolution of the artist’s recurring exploration of the interplay between the human form and nature’s regenerative power, offering collectors a singular work that resonates on both a visual and emotional level.
