Hamed Nada dating history

Details

Hamed Nada (1924-1990) was an Egyptian artist born in a popular neighbourhood in Citadel, one of the oldest districts in Cairo. Much of his early art resembles memories of his childhood and life growing up in his neighbourhood and communal home. In his neighbourhood in which he grew up, there is a mosque named Sayeda Zeinab. It is named after the Prophet Mohammad's daughter, Zeinab. Nada's father was a large influence in the administration of this mosque. Nada's art related to forms of symbolism, spirituality, life and a stylized way of depicting the Muslim spirit of djinn. From an early age, Nada was introduced to Egyptian culture in an artistic way, through mentors and self interest. He influenced much of the modern art in Egypt as the Post-Colonial modern era of art was beginning during his career. His membership in various art groups and institutions express his influence in the art world. The intricate symbolism found in his pieces show the deep focus of his personal style.
