"Healer Also Needs Healing" is an evocative portrait that invites viewers to explore the inner world of the subject. The woman depicted exudes a sense of strength and serenity, her eyes gazing into the distance with a mix of determination and vulnerability. Ganiyat masterfully captures the delicate balance between the external projection of strength and the internal longing for healing.
The woman's visage is rendered in exquisite detail, with every brushstroke contributing to the depth of her character. Her features reflect a life well-lived, marked by experiences both joyful and painful. The artist employs a subtle yet profound use of color, emphasizing warm and earthy tones that evoke a sense of grounding and connection to nature. The intricate interplay of light and shadow further adds dimension and intensity to the subject's expression.
Abdulazeez's artwork conveys a powerful message about the often-overlooked struggles faced by those in nurturing roles. By focusing on a healer, traditionally associated with strength and selflessness, the artist challenges the notion that caregivers are immune to their own wounds. The title itself, "Healer Also Needs Healing," emphasizes this essential truth and serves as a reminder to viewers to extend compassion to those who are constantly providing it to others.
The woman's serene yet contemplative expression embodies the dichotomy between the need to heal and the strength required to carry the burden of others' pain. Her distant gaze hints at an internal world, perhaps filled with personal battles, memories, or unvoiced emotions. It invites viewers to reflect on the toll that caregiving roles can take on individuals, urging them to recognize the importance of self-care and nurturing their own well-being.
Moreover, the subtle details within the artwork contribute to its symbolic depth. The presence of natural elements, such as flowers or leaves entwined in the woman's hair or adorning her attire, suggests a connection to the healing power of nature and the cycle of growth and renewal. These elements symbolize the potential for personal transformation and rejuvenation, highlighting the importance of self-nurture for healers and caregivers alike.
Ganiyat Abdulazeez's artwork, "Healer Also Needs Healing," is a thought-provoking exploration of the emotional complexities inherent in caregiving roles. Through the skillful use of color, composition, and symbolism, the artist captures the profound truth that even those who dedicate their lives to healing others require healing themselves.
This captivating portrait serves as a poignant reminder for viewers to acknowledge the burdens faced by caregivers, and to foster a culture of compassion and support for those who selflessly give of themselves. It prompts us to reevaluate our understanding of strength and vulnerability, urging us to extend empathy and care to those who have devoted their lives to the well-being of others.
"Healer Also Needs Healing" is a testament to the power of art in conveying universal truths and shedding light on the often unspoken struggles within our society. Ganiyat Abdulazeez's evocative artwork resonates deeply, leaving an indelible impression on those who encounter it and encouraging a shift in our collective consciousness toward recognizing and supporting the healers in our midst.

Presentation
Abdulazeez Ganiyat Abosede is a visual artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. She graduated with a National Diploma from the prestigious Yaba college of technology in 2017 and went on to earn a Higher National Diploma in the same school in 2021.
Ganiyat explores a diversity of media spanning pastels, graphites, charcoal, watercolors, acrylics, and oils (being her most favored). In her recent works, she incorporates a distinctive floral motif - believed to have a deep connection with her childhood experiences in her portraits. This reoccurring phenomenon in her work is called jatropha multifida ( coral plant). The plants are known to have many healing properties, some of which she had benefited from while growing up.
Ganiyat believes that every part of the body needs healing, being poor or rich, white skin or black skin, every mankind yearns for healing, even the animals, in a way or another. She affirms that God created all plants for human and animal benefit. And he had also concealed in them diverse healing properties right before the existence of drugs and injections. Her works have been collected both locally and internationally.
