Darko Markovic (DarMar) – Visionary Concept Artist & Hard Surface Designer
Darko Marković, known professionally as DARMAR, is a world-class designer and entrepreneur specializing in 3D concept design for vehicles, products, robotics, and weapons.
Born in Belgrade, Serbia on April 21, 1987, Darko’s creative foundation was shaped by his parents, Miodrag and Ilonkica, whose support nurtured both his strength and artistic spirit.
At just 13, Darko was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes — a life-altering challenge that sharpened his resilience, discipline, and innate curiosity, traits that continue to define his work.
In 2006, after facing rejection from the University of Belgrade for both Architecture and Design, Darko channeled the setback into a deeper commitment to excellence, beginning his journey into high-end design innovation.
Darko’s early career featured prestigious achievements, including winning the Lamborghini scholarship in Milan, Italy, and victories in leading international competitions such as the ArtStation Challenge and CGTalk Challenge. Despite excelling under the Lamborghini program, his third-world passport caused unexpected barriers — including expulsion and career roadblocks — intensifying his determination to carve his own path.
In 2015, a pivotal meeting with Dr. Dušica Milićević marked the start of a transformative journey toward health, spirituality, and independence, leading to the birth of his solo brand — DARMAR.
Today, DARMAR is recognized for redefining hard-surface design with a revolutionary 3D process that blends real-world engineering with cinematic imagination. His creations, ranging from futuristic vehicles and robots to high-end consumer products, reflect a signature style: functional, iconic, and built for impact.
Darko’s portfolio has attracted major global clients such as Amazon MGM, Coldplay, Sony, Double Negative, Matrix 4, Outcast Game, Star Trek Picard, and many more. His charisma and technical mastery also earned him brand presenter roles with Wacom and BenQ.
A respected voice on the international lecture circuit, Darko shares his knowledge across India, Bulgaria, Spain, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Italy, and beyond — inspiring the next generation of designers and creators.
In addition to his client work, Darko spent a decade creating Inside44 — an original sci-fi universe where his world-class design, storytelling, and world-building abilities fused into a groundbreaking body of work. Inside44 pushed his creativity beyond industry norms, delivering vehicles, characters, and environments with a depth, logic, and imagination rarely seen.
This monumental project, crafted independently from story to 3D concept to finished product, is a living testament to Darko’s mastery, endurance, and vision — offering clients and collaborators a rare glimpse into what is possible when creative freedom meets elite-level expertise.
Each chapter of Darko Marković’s life embodies resilience, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence, leaving behind a legacy that transcends borders.
