A deeply evocative composition, "Breathe" by Ritchelly Oliveira captures a moment of tension and release, where the human form and nature intertwine in a powerful visual dialogue. The striking contrast of deep charcoal tones against the ethereal softness of the birds creates a balance between strength and fragility, movement and stillness.
• The composition seamlessly merges the human figure with the movement of birds, suggesting a connection between the body, breath, and the instinct for freedom.
• Oliveira's mastery of charcoal gives the portrait a sculptural depth, while the delicate acrylic rendering of the birds enhances the illusion of weightlessness.
• The interplay between shadow and light lends an almost cinematic quality, drawing the viewer into the subject's intimate, introspective moment.
• Ritchelly Oliveira is known for his ability to blend realism with dreamlike elements, making his work compelling and emotionally resonant.
• The monochromatic palette allows the piece to integrate seamlessly into various interiors while maintaining a striking presence.
• This artwork is in excellent condition, professionally stretched on a high-quality canvas, and ready for display.
In "Breathe", Oliveira explores themes of surrender and transformation. The birds, appearing almost as an extension of the figure, evoke a sense of inner liberation, while the subject's expression oscillates between contemplation and release. This piece invites multiple interpretations—whether as a meditation on resilience, a metaphor for rebirth, or a reflection on the delicate balance between control and letting go.
"Breathe" is an artwork that lingers in the mind, an intimate yet expansive vision of human emotion translated through masterful technique.

Presentation
Ritchelly Oliveira, visual artist, began his work in 2012, shortly after enrolling in visual arts at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), he found in the human figure a space to present his speech about what he understands most profoundly present in affective relationships. He talks about what he suspects to be love and, believing it to be a universal feeling. It proposes what is common to men, even knowing that this love brings something that is also individual and particular.
Believing that affective relationships are built from the individual and how their surroundings interfere with them, we try to rescue here the possibility of constructing discourses about love, especially black love. The importance of reflecting together on issues such as sexuality, emotional responsibility and colorism are necessary canons in this invitation to embrace the dangerous and exclusionary ideals of romantic love that circulate in our environments.
