Mario Kicker grew up in Germany and discovered a means to express his thoughts through art. After traveling ultimately led him to emigrate, he commenced his formal training in the fine arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. In 2014, he departed from the academy to fully dedicate himself to his artistic pursuits.
Since then, he has curated exhibitions showcasing his artworks, which delve into profound social and philosophical themes with a playful sense. Employing a blend of traditional and digital techniques, his 2D and 3D artworks address themes such as the inexorable growth of life and its fleeting nature. He aims for inclusivity and embraces diversity over perfection, aiming to capture the complexities of life.
As a founding member of the international art collective "DIE mARkT" and a member in well-established art associations like the "Biennale Austria" in Vienna and the National Association of Visual Artists of France "la maison des artistes", Mario Kicker's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions worldwide. His pieces have been showcased in renowned galleries such as the Black Heath Gallery in London and off-spaces like Halle 50 in Munich.
