Famed artist Davood Roostaei paints entirely with his hands and his latest work could sell for seven figures, all to benefit Ukraine.
"I paint me when I was in Iran and do the graffiti against the war," he said.

PACKARD: Do you think those lessons are also true for the collectors who have purchased your pieces because these are some of the most wealthy and powerful people in the world, people who can make peace if they want to?

Rostaei's steely exterior belies his thoughtful eyes and his tender heart, shaped — like the images he paints — by a deep conviction that every scene of life is subject to interpretation, to the beholder's willingness to see the beauty or the pain, the peace or the war.
