| Embrace by Ritchelly Oliveira

Part of The Exclusive Collection | Drawn From What Remains: Notes On Interior States

Dimensions: 100 x 70 cm

“While the world keeps demanding movement, answers, and strength, often all I want is to find a place where I can simply fall without having to explain why.” — Ritchelly In Embrace [Abraço], a standout piece from the exclusive collection Drawn From What Remains, Ritchelly transforms charcoal into a sanctuary of silence and surrender.

The composition juxtaposes a striking figure with a winged bird draped across his chest, its head resting against his neck. The bird acts not as decoration, but as the embodiment of internal vulnerability—a quiet weight and symbolic presence that stays with us. Rather than demanding flight or endurance, it offers a space to land, cradling the unspoken complexities and fragile truths we cannot always explain.

For Ritchelly, painting becomes a way of breathing inside that quiet space. Embrace is an intimate manifesto on accepting who we are, including the parts we do not yet understand—and, even so, continuing. A piece of exceptional emotional gravity and visual resonance for collectors seeking profound conceptual depth.

| Echoes Beyond the Wall by Azeez Afeez A.

In Echoes Beyond the Wall, Nigerian artist Azeez Afeez delivers a profound narrative on community, threshold, and inherited identity.

The skin of his figures is intricately woven rather than painted flat—a deliberate technique where identity is constructed like cloth, thread by thread, inherited rather than simply given. At the center, a vibrant blue frame divides inside from outside. Yet, it is precisely on this threshold that the figures gather, sharing an intimate dialogue in ordinary clothes and unremarkable gestures.

Seated between two worlds, the central figure neither enters nor leaves; his stillness becomes the quiet anchor around which the surrounding conversation turns. A masterclass in subtle storytelling, Echoes Beyond the Wall captures the unspoken ties that hold communities together.

Charcoal and what it conveys to its surroundings. Its presence is increasingly rooted in my work process—something that navigates the space between drawing and painting.” — Ritchelly

| Drawn From What Remains: Notes On Interior States by Ritchelly Oliveira

In this extraordinary body of work, charcoal serves as a tool for excavation—a medium born from what once burned, compressed by combustion, and shaped by the artist’s hand. Ritchelly invites us into a space where interior states are laid bare, and the human body becomes a sanctuary of memory, longing, and quiet resilience.

These works do not turn emotion into spectacle. Instead, they offer an irreducible gesture of tenderness, creating room for us to look upon our own vulnerability without shame.
