Marko Barakoski is a finish carpenter and artist based in North Vancouver, BC. His work blends fine carpentry with a deep artistic sensibility, resulting in crafted pieces that are both functional and sculptural. A self-taught woodworker with a background in construction, Barakoski began salvaging offcuts and felled logs as a response to material waste—transforming them into enduring furniture pieces and original end-grain relief prints. Drawing inspiration from the wood itself, his process is intuitive, material-led, and grounded in sustainability. Regarding his work he states:

“Art, at its essence, is about connection—between people, places, and the natural world. My work is rooted in this idea, using printmaking and sculpture to create a quiet yet powerful dialogue between the viewer and their surroundings. Whether through the intricate details of an end-grain relief print or the organic forms of a sculptural piece, my goal is to offer a moment of reflection, a sense of belonging, and a deeper appreciation for nature’s presence in our lives.”

Barakoski holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph in Art History. His practice has led him to create works that now reside in private collections across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, as well as in public and corporate spaces in retail, hospitality, and educational settings. Inspired by artists such as Bryan Nash Gill and Ray Morimura, Barakoski continues to explore the tactile and immersive qualities of printmaking, allowing each piece to tell its own story while inviting others to find their own connection in the process.
