Christian “TECHNI” Rodriguez is a contemporary visual artist celebrated for his bold black-and-white aesthetic and evocative storytelling through art. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, TECHNI channels his personal experiences and cultural heritage into a distinctive visual language that bridges the past, present, and future.

His work often features robot figures juxtaposed with organic elements like flowers, symbolizing the intersection of technology and humanity. These motifs serve as protectors and narrators, conveying stories of modern existence and resilience. Utilizing mediums such as acrylic paint, ink, spray paint, and paint markers, TECHNI’s creations are deeply rooted in both his own life experiences and the narratives of those around him.

TECHNI’s artistic journey has led him to exhibit across various venues, including the Tokyo International Art Fair, El Taller in Lawrence, and Cncpt6 in Lowell. Notable exhibitions include “Healing Heart Capsule” at Essex Art Center and “Somos Originales” in Newport, RI. His commitment to community engagement is evident through initiatives like the Zone 3 Community Sketchbook in Boston, where he collaborates with the public to create large-scale murals.

At the heart of his practice is TECHNI Studio, his creative space in Western Ave, Lowell, MA, where he continues to explore themes of identity, technology, and the human condition. Through his art, TECHNI invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of contemporary life and the enduring spirit of humanity.
