Bareket
Bareket is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans muralism, community engagement, poetry, and collaborative art-making. With a deep commitment to kindness, compassion, and gratitude, Bareket’s vibrant work is an invitation to experience joy, belonging, and radical self-love. Their colorful, graphic illustrations and bold typography aim to foster connection and promote mental health as a collective and personal journey.
At the heart of Bareket’s practice is a belief in the power of creativity to heal and transform. Their art serves as a tool for self-acceptance, offering visual language that encourages viewers to embrace their own identities and prioritize their well-being. As an eternal student of life, Bareket draws inspiration from the natural world—especially plants and fungi—to explore themes of growth, reciprocity, and living harmoniously with all life forms.
In addition to their artistic work, Bareket is a mentor, facilitator, and advocate for mental health, with a focus on creating inclusive, nurturing communities. Their collaborative spirit extends to many projects, always seeking to engage others in creative processes that amplify collective healing and growth.
Bareket’s large-scale works have been featured in prominent venues and publications, including The New Yorker, CBC Arts, and The Globe and Mail, and they have collaborated with organizations such as Tourism Canada, the City of Toronto, Union Station, and Airbnb.
