The paintings on this site are a story telling each of them
In particular the watery and picturesque paintings, The Niles, swan, paper boat. As they capture an era of Egypt. The second sets fascinate me is the human birth, life, death, a powerful trio in the light, prayer, farewell. On individuals a portrait the lady, sleeping and Abdul are asset on there on. The site is easy to surf and scroll. an artistic blend of colours and high graphics, well presented, classy indeed, good luck. Ramsey

Among my favorites are The Swan, Walk in the Park, The Zoo and his Self-portrait, 1932.
More power...looking forward to the new ones….. One day I will see the originals!!!!!!!!!! and some day maybe I would have one of my favorites.!!!Opppsss!! A big hug from me for a job well done.....

This site brings back a lot of memories. I remember how I spent my school holidays with him:laughing, taking walks and shopping together. He was a man of great wisdom and talent. He was warm, cheerful and full of joy. I learnt a lot from him, may God bless his soul. In short: I was very lucky to have had a man like Yousef Toppozada as my Grandfather.
As for you Karim, GREAT job, I know he would have been very proud of you as we all are.

Dear Karim, Congratulations for an outstanding work which was with
a lot of effort done. Onkel Yousef would be very proud of you. Reading this Site, the Past is present again, as we where running in Vienna from one Museum to another, or having Lunchs in restaurants, or watching him painting
the SWAN and PAPER BOOTS, he was a very lively and charming unforgetable Father in Law, and I was his greatest fan and will never forget him. Love Tante Inge/Vienna

I would like to introduce myself as a Turkish doctor. It was a beautiful surprise
to find your website accidentally while I was surfing in the internet. It was
fascinating because of two aspects. First of all the work of your grandfarher
was really impressive. Second, it is really interesting for me because we share
the same great grandfather “Prince Mohamed Toppozada” with your grandfather
and of course with you. I am sending you a photo of my late grandfather “Mehmet
Emin Bey” so you will see the striking similarity between them. I would like
to meet each one of you If you visit Istanbul someday. Best regards to each
and every member of family.

A Great Artist - Yousef Toppozada.
Egyptian Government should make an Art Galary in the name of Mr. Toppozada,
so his works can be restored and kept as National Treasures. This will enable
the budding Egyptian Artists can study and research.
