Nadia's Revised Artist Statement

The intimate, spiritual, and sublime are what inspire my art. Photography allows me to better understand my existence and my reality. With my camera, I blend reality with the fantastic. With careful use of light and subject I combine the concrete with its ethereal potential. To me my work is not only about recording, but also creating something completely new. I experiment with different personas and layer my compositions playing off of my human subjects. I always have a direction and purpose; however, on execution I work quite intuitively to bring about the mysterious and unnoticed through the portrayal of humans and their relationship to life.
