   "A quick look upon the work of N. Darastean could lead us to the surrealistic style (common objects, real images of the known world, distributed in the structure of the painting by random, absurd or delirious connections. But behind the disorder there is found the recovery of the perspective, the insinuation of a secret atmosphere, with multiple light sources, hidden to the eye and especially indicating through the title a step in the mythology, in the biblic parable or in the world of heroes from the literature of the world, sometimes from history. As a postmodern artist, Darastean thinks suggestively in the spirit of the metaphysical painting but through the obsessions of the modern person (durity, violence, sex) whose moral and philosophical confusion could find its solution in the wish to achieve the saving light of the faith."
