Hamed Nada is one of the most prominent photographers of the contemporary art group, and was with his colleague and friend Abdel Hadi El-Gazzar, one of the first modern Egyptian artists to insert superstitious symbols and deal with psychological states in their paintings. His early works were strongly influenced by the social environment in the popular Cairo neighborhoods, and his teacher, Hussein Youssef Amin, encouraged him to draw inspiration from it.
Nada developed a symbolic figurative world fueled by myths of fairy tales, popular beliefs and myths, as well as the magical and metaphysical world of the jinn. His works, starting in the 1950s, depicted interior scenes in the homes of poor popular families expressing the intentions of human surrender and reckoning to justice and destiny. As symbols of the human spirit, cats, lamps, and chairs were used metaphorically in his paintings. During the 1960s, after he studied closely the art of ancient Egypt when he was a resident of Luxor studio, his work began to manifest in two-dimensional spaces that celebrate the miniaturized and inconsistent human figures. He also used brighter colors to paint scenes of Egyptian daily life and political subjects.
It can sometimes be seen that these works have influences from the style of Ragheb Ayyad (1892-1982), but Nada earned the depiction of popular culture a cosmic and symbolic level by drawing poetic stories about the life of the intimate Egyptian working class.
His works can be seen at the Museum of Egyptian Modern Art in Cairo and the Museum of Fine Arts in Alexandria, as well as many private collections around the world.
