Nadia Shehadi lives in
Mexico City. Her photographs bring forth very subtle, delicious, and erotic
feelings. Her latest photographs are focused on what unites people with one
another, rather than what distinguishes them from one another. There is a
strong current of universality running through all her work.
Nadia is a Mexican photographer whose earliest work in the 1980´s was
mostly dedicated to portraits. She delved into the world of portraits as a way
of trying to understand human nature more deeply. She had been fascinated by
the subject since she was a child.
Common people as well as famous artists have been subjects of her work. Amongst
the most known, she was commissioned to photograph Latin American artists such
as Gabriel García Marques, Juan Soriano, Carlos Mérida, Jose Luis
Cuevas and others, including Paco de Lucía from Spain.
Nadia became a disciple of the spiritual master Osho in 1985, given the name
Divyam Vallabha, and devoted herself to personal transformation and meditation.
Parallel to her work in commercial and fine-art photography her strong interest
in psychotherapy led to her qualifying as a psychotherapist in 1990. As of 1999
she arrived at a point where she is able to dedicate her life to her passions:
psychotherapy, photography and meditation.
