We’re so excited to re-feature Ritchelly Oliveira, a portrait and visual artist from Brazil, regarding his new portrait series ‘Lacunas’.

Lacunas is a portrait series that started from a desire as an artist, to expand on what each individual believes is love.

During my artistic path, I always showed my anguish, my losses, and how it led to the construction of my process as a portraitist.

From an early age, my experiences had the power to influence me in my emotional growth, organically creating what I consider my art.

From that, I felt the need to expand that line to something universal that is love.

This series, under construction, invites every person to have the opportunity to make a statement about their experiences of love: their losses, their gains.

This feeling was, and is, able to touch everyone in a unique way.

Lacunas comes in order to inspire people to share their stories, simply and lightly.

Love transforms.
