Vancouver Sculptor & Painter

Ramazan Kabakci

Ramazan Kabakci is an artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, known for his driftwood sculptures and oil paintings.

In his work, he seeks to merge the organic forms created by nature with the human touch, exploring a unique artistic expression that bridges the natural and the emotional. Drawing inspiration from nature, Ramazan strives to understand the emotions of living beings—an essence reflected in both his sculptures and paintings.

Driftwood pieces wash ashore after a long journey. Along the way, they crash against rocks, sometimes breaking apart, sometimes enduring the forces around them. Reaching the shore takes time — much like the human journey. We, too, are shaped by what we experience; at times we feel fragmented, and at other times we long for someone to help piece us back together.

In his driftwood art, Ramazan unites these nature-shaped fragments full of untold stories with the human story, creating a shared artistic narrative. His work stands as a reminder of our emotional connection with nature — that we are, in essence, part of a greater whole.

Each of his pieces embodies a silent dialogue between nature and humanity — a poetic reflection on resilience, transformation, and unity.
