About the Item
This mixed media collage painting celebrates the quiet beauty of being fully immersed in a story. The figure, adorned in vibrant textiles, sits gracefully with a book in hand, her world expanding beyond the patterned walls that surround her. Each fabric piece is carefully chosen to echo the richness of imagination.
With a glass of wine by her side and a serene expression on her face, she embodies that magical stillness where time pauses and the heart wanders. Lost in the Pages is a tribute to the joy of reading, the escape it offers, and the colorful journeys found within the written word.

About Artist
Agwunwa Theophilus Chinonso was born in 1990. He hails from Ejeme Aniorgor, Aniocha South, Delta State, Nigeria. He graduated with a distinction from Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo State, where he studied Arts and Industrial Design (Painting). His works are an exploration of numerous waste materials, most especially fabric, in the execution of his paintings. He doesn’t simply conceptualize daily activities and the human state of mind in his paintings; he transforms waste materials into wealth (beautiful works of art).
At a tender age, he discovered his gift as an artist, both visual and performing arts, drawing almost everything he saw around his environment and practising musical instruments as well.
Artist Statement
As a Nigerian-based artist, I see my art as a form of up-cycling because I transform Ankara fabrics (African prints), both old and new, into beautiful paintings that portray daily activities, love, and a human state of mind. The use of colourful Ankara materials with lovely motifs and patterns characterizes my unique style.
Ankara fabric was chosen as my primary medium of expression because of the lovely patterns on it and how it captures the essence of my work. The use of vibrant colours of fabrics in my painting depicts hope as it tends to encourage the viewers to stay focused, and that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
