Alfredo Frías is a visual artist born in Tucumán, Argentina, in 1984. His current practice explores the landscape as an introspective experience, informed by the resurgence of Tucumán's vernacular poetry and establishing connections between personal memory and collective memory.
He studied at the Maestro Atilio Terragni School of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Arts at the National University of Tucumán (UNT). He was a fellow of the 10th Artists Program at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT) and has received several distinctions, including the First Prize at the 51st National Salon of Tucumán and the UADE Grand Prize for the Visual Arts.
"That is how I began working from a simple gesture: shifting my gaze from the horizon upward."
