KIDNETICK
Born in Panama City in 1975, Mark "Kidnetick" Rivera relocated to Puerto Rico in the late 1980s, where he pursued an education in avionics during the 1990s. Though grounded in technical studies, his creative spirit and deep-rooted passion for music and art ultimately shaped his career path.
In the early 2000s, Rivera emerged as a multifaceted artist and craftsman, building a reputation for his work across various fields, including art direction, woodworking, welding, and general contracting within the film and art industries. His versatility allowed him to seamlessly blend technical precision with artistic expression, a skill that became a defining trait in his creative journey.
Simultaneously, Rivera toured as a musician, an experience that not only expanded his artistic perspective but also reinforced his belief in the interconnectedness of music, visual art, and culture. His time on the road exposed him to diverse creative environments, further fueling his desire to push artistic boundaries.
In 2013, Rivera moved to Santurce, a district known for its vibrant art scene, where his home quickly became a gathering space for a burgeoning street art movement. Immersed in this dynamic community, he found his voice in sculptural work, specializing in large-scale mixed-media art. Drawing inspiration from urban landscapes, industrial materials, and abstract concepts, his work reflects a bold fusion of structure and spontaneity.
Today, Mark "Kidnetick" Rivera continues to explore new artistic territories, merging his technical expertise with his creative vision. His pieces challenge conventional limits, inviting viewers to experience art through a multidimensional lens — a true reflection of his ever-evolving journey as both an artist and a craftsman.
