توفيق مراد: فنان لبناني بارز، يعيد الحياة إلى الخشب في أستراليا
.
Tom J. Mourad is a craftsman, sculptor, and artist. His favoured medium is wood, which he shapes into a variety of different functional woodworks, as well as realistic, representational and abstract works of art. His creations range from antique-style furniture, intricately carved Gothic and Victorian columns, horse-drawn carriages, staffs for religious personnel, as well as staircases and balustrades.
Tom, or Toufic, was born in August 1946 on his forefathers’ land of Dweir, a small farm that lies between Tannourine and Haddath El-Joubeh in the northern mountains of Lebanon. Toufic, the son of Jamil Mourad and Latifeh Salameh, and the brother of four, spent his childhood winters in Haddath El-Joubeh and his summers in Dweir, Tannourine playing in the serene mountain surroundings.
In 1954 and at the age of 8, Toufic lost his father. He was sent to a boarding school in Beirut. It was there that Toufic’s interest in woodcarving commenced. Trained as a woodworker and a musician, Toufic became fascinated by the art of woodcarving and sculpting and sought lessons in the field from master of the craft, George El-Tawil. By the age of 20, Toufic had opened his own woodcarving business in Tripoli (North Lebanon) where he created his first individual sculptural designs.
