| Submission declined on 30 June 2020 by Calliopejen1 (talk). A lot of the citations appear to be fabrications, with books that don't exist in any library per worldcat.org. I've removed the ones I could not verify. You need to seriously clean up the references, including ISBNs for books etc. Volunteers aren't going to waste their time going through this mess.

Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

Comment: Has been repetadly rejected and lines read like an ad OLI 20:16, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Link dump at end needs to go. Don't need a sources and a resources section. Please also make sure all primary sources are removed. Nightenbelle (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Still has a LOT of totally unsourced content, where has the content come from? We only report on what the reliable sources have said about a subject. "Where has somebody wholly unconnected with Davood Roostaei said this about them?" Cite that source. If there is no source, then the statement does not belong anywhere in Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 20:15, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm afraid that this draft reads nothing like an encyclopedia article eg. "This level of output continues, and at 61 there are no signs of him slowing down in sight." "way of painting has excited him " " fully express the turbulent world he sees" "He built his career" " new method for making the invisible visible" "a successful career as an artist." "studies were violently disrupted" "the search to find his own niche." " simultaneously revealing multiple perspectives to the viewer" It reads more like a gushing magazine piece, Wikipedia only reports dispassionately and in a neutral tone, what reliable sources say.

- Comment: None of the 37 inline sources appear to be RS. Pure promotion.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:12, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Davood's own website is not an independent source likewise German Wikipedia, interviews with Davood and any blogs. All content requires in line citations not just a link dump at the end. Any original research needs to be removed. Theroadislong (talk) 11:54, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Davood Roostaei (12 October, 1959 - 11 March, 2023) was an Iranian - American painter and the founder of Cryptorealism.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Roostaei worked in both oils and acrylics, and while most of his oeuvre was made up of paintings he also sculpted and created drawings. Cryptorealism was his style; painting with his fingers was the way he executed it.[5] He is represented by various galleries internationally.[6][7]
Early life and education[edit]
Roostaei was born in 1959 in Sarab; a village in Malayer county, Iran.[8]
He began his art education in 1977 at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tehran. After the Iranian revolution, he moved to Germany in 1984, and then Los Angeles in 2000 where he lived and worked until his death in 2023.[9][10][11]
Career[edit]
The first time Roostaei’s art was shown was as a part of a group cultural art tour in 1981 which included the countries of Egypt, India, and the then Soviet Union.[12] Roostaei didn't travel with the art show but remained in Iran where he engaged in graffiti art which the Khomeini regime deemed subversive, and for which he was jailed for two years. [13][14] After his release from jail he gained asylum in Germany in 1984, where he continued his art studies first at the Kunst fur Hochschule in Cologne, then at the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg and developed a career as an artist.[7][15][16]
In his early years in Germany he created Cryptorealism, inspired by both his political and artistic experiences. He developed Cryptorealism in 1990, he did this to practice an art that overlaid levels of images so as to foster multiple perspectives on different issues.[17] [18]
The art historian and critic, Hanns Theodor Flemming, describes Cryptorealism as a revolutionary method of painting which reconciles the major currents of contemporary art, realism, and abstraction, from both traditional and present-day aspects, into an original state of unity with individual identification.[6] [19] Another art historian, Dr. Albert Boime, describes Cryptorealism as a kind of magical eclecticism that is also a game of visual hide-and-seek that Roostaei plays with the viewer. Roostaei paints compositions from eccentric angles and viewpoints and often depicts forms that metamorphose in a twinkling of an eye. His work consistently discloses disguised and reversible imagery that sends the viewer on an optical steeplechase.[20] A collection of writings on Cryptorealism are brought together in a book called, “ Davood Roostaei and the Manifesto of Cryptorealism”, a book published in 2007.[21] [22][23][24] [25]
Roostaei remained committed to this way of painting ever since he developed it in 1990; and this freeing himself of the constraints of the paint brush enabled him to express himself in ways that allowed him to fully express the world he saw.[26][27][28]
Roostaei did not pick up a paint brush since 1986 in executing his oil and acrylic paintings, he painted entirely with his fingers .[29] [30][31][32][33]
