He grew up on the edge of the desert. This life in that intense, clear light decisively shaped the perception of Davood Roostael, as well as the millennia-old Persian culture, in which there were such figures of light as Zarathustra, who taught humanity and humanity long before Jesus.
Davood Roostaei also seems like a descendant of that impressive prophet, who came into contact with painting at an early age and quickly understood that pictures can say more than the most well-chosen words. When the mullahs took power in his home country and Iran in transformed into a chamber of horrors, Roostaie emigrated to Germany. With great enthusiasm he studied at the renowned art academies in Koln and Hamburg.
