Working in oils and spray paint, mural artist and painter Riivo Kruuk’s work explores Estonian folklore and traditional clothing fused with contemporary motifs and pop culture. Using graffiti to represent the colorful grit of where he grew up, Riivo paints his figures decorated in embroidery-esque and graffiti tag-like adornments, painting both men and women in similar fashion, simultaneously creating a unity and duality in his work.
Riivo Kruuk was born in 1998 and grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts with a Focus in Painting in 2020. Since graduating, he continuously gathers a list of shows and murals around the U.S. and on an international stage.
He is represented by White Gallery in Mt. Pleasant, SC.
