ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The dream city In 2000 I left my homeland Iraq and the city of Baghdad and have lived in Berlin ever since. Before I left, I was very active culturally. Between 1980 and the end of the century, I participated in many joint exhibitions, held four solo exhibitions, and wrote and published many articles on literature and art in the newspapers. Baghdad was then the Mecca of cultural events. In the cafes, in the writers' union, and also in the galleries, the intellectuals gathered and discussed recent activities. I missed all of that when I came to Germany. At my age it was not easy to leave a cultural stage, where I know every corner very well and know most of the people who are involved in their activities, to start a new beginning. I missed Baghdad and regretted its fate, especially because of the wars and destruction it went through. In 2012 I felt able to paint a new generation of paintings in which I “rebuild” Baghdad and all the destructed cities.

I was born in Diyala province- Buhriz, Iraq in 1949, granted BA in history and art history from the University of Baghdad in 1970. 1969 joined the free atelier of the college of art under the supervision of the late artist pro. Khalid Al-Jadir. In the same year we established the group of Al-Adab for fine art. Between 1977 and 1978 I studied sociology and politics in Moscow at the institute of social sciences. Been arrested and tortured many times because of my political activities till I leave to Germany in 2000 to be granted a political asylum, since then I live and work in Berlin in my atelier in Atelierhaus Sigmaringer 1. Between 2007 and 2009 I lectured how to paint with acrylic at the VHS in Berlin. In spite of all difficulties and suffering I was sad to leave behind the most successful year of 80s and 90s in which I was among the best sellers. I wrote and published many articles, my first book to be published in the next few months. More under:
