“Coming full circle, Darashkevich pays it forward by creating comets for the dreamers who want to make wishes come true. As a child he was fascinated with the night sky full of myriads of stars. Full of hope, he built his own telescope to get a better view of the night sky. Every magical night that he caught a glimpse of a shooting star (comets) he wished to become an artist. His wish came true. Thanking the stars for being on his side, he makes a beautiful tribute to The Comets. Comets made for those wishful dreamers.“
