The artwork depicts a lady looking upward with a sense of gratitude, her expression reflecting a profound acknowledgment of the help she has received during her trying times. The use of vibrant fabric colors adds depth and symbolism to the piece, evoking feelings of hope and optimism.

The lady's posture and expression exude a sense of peace and contentment, suggesting that despite the challenges she has faced, she finds solace in the support of her maker. The title, "My Help Has Come," further reinforces the theme of divine assistance and providence. It speaks to the universal human experience of seeking help and finding comfort in moments of difficulty. Overall, "My Help Has Come" is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant artwork that celebrates the power of faith and gratitude in overcoming trials.

Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. 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 human state of mind in his paintings, he transforms waste materials into wealth (beautiful works of art). At his tender age, he discovered his gift as an artist, both visual and performing art drawing almost everything he sees around his environment and practicing 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 colorful 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 colors 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.
