Ali Toffan

 

 

Ali`s first cry was in Baghdad, in  the house of his current friend Wathiq. 

At that time the world was on a ship passing through trees of bamboo,

and the people slept on cushions, which were embroidered with "good morning".

 Already to early age Ali was interested in art, specially in the poetry and painting.

 

1989 to 1994 he visited the art school in Baghdad.
