Congratulations to Davood Roostaei, for Receiving His Doctor of philosophy (PHD) in Art.

This Monday on Accent ON! host ILONA EUROPA presents very interesting interview a very special guest Davood

Roostaei, the magical artist from Iran, was born in the Persian town of Sarab in 1959. After years of

pursuit, prosecution and imprisonment in Iran he fled the country in 1984. Germany, Monte Carlo and Los

Angles became his new homes. Since then Roostaei has acquired international fame as the founder of

“Cryptorealism”, a revolutionary style of painting that 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 religions and the passionate love of images in the West.

Roostaei is a philanthropist and a champion of causes and has donated the proceeds of some of his most sought

after paintings to the charities he most deeply believes in. This support has provided assistance for causes

such as the children of Chernobyl, children hurt in accidents and suffering from vascular disease, AIDS

assistance programs, and the hospice movement. In 2000 he dedicated the profits of his painting “Light &

Shadow” bought by the city of Hamburg for $300,000 to the city’s orphanage.

Edward Nader (manager) joined us on our show sharing with us the future travel plans for Davood and asked to
