For years, Dr. Abiosè Haara MD’s artistic practice thrived on capturing immediate human connections—celebrating life’s milestones through high-end commercial commissions and live event painting. But as a practicing family physician and mother, her daily intimacy with biology, structural anatomy, and the fragility of the human form eventually sparked a profound internal pivot. Through in-depth reflection, she realized that instead of merely preserving transient modern moments, her unique dual identity as a scientist and a descendant of legendary Nigerian pioneer Àdùnní Oláníwún Olúwọlé called her to heal a much deeper patient: history itself.
In this definitive structural shift, Dr. Haara has entirely dissolved her commercial services to embark on a monumental, high-concept fine art trajectory. Under the global patronage of Andrew Ine, and mentorship by Charles F Stewart, she has fused her analytical precision with the raw, spiritually charged worldview of the Oshogbo Art Movement and art history from a global perspective. Drawing from the folktales of Tales By Moonlight, a favourite childhood pastime she shares with millions of others, and daring to emulate the dense, vibrant spiritual reality teeming with invisible life work of Chief Twins Seven-Seven, she encourages depth of though, by breathing mythical life back into Africa’s ancient giants.
Each large-scale canvas functions as a sacred, intricately patterned codex. Here, African dinosaurs are resurrected not as extinct fossils, but as primordial, shape-shifting protectors—their untold stories morphed into multisensorial visual and oral folktales hand-inked directly into the ornamental borders of the frame. This collection marks a complete artistic rebirth, stepping away from the commercial world to claim a permanent, historic space in contemporary global art.
