Artist Davood Roostael. Davood Roostaei is from another world, a world of magic and mystical secrets. Roostaei is the creator of a unique and revolutionary style of painting, called Cryptorealism. This method reconciles the major currents of contemporary art, realism and abstraction, and at the same time, spans the bridge between the Orient and the Occident, between the deeply rooted fear of images in Judaism and Islam, Christianity and the passionate love of images in the West. Roostaei is a philanthropist and a champion of causes and has donated the proceeds of expensive paintings for the children of Chernobyl, children hurt in accidents and suffering from vascular disease, Aids assistance programs, the hospice movement and the list goes on and on.
