Biography and Information

Biography
Alfredo Quiroz (b. 1997) works across music, fashion, and performance to explore transformation and identity. The artist approaches creation as a fluid process that bridges internal and external worlds, welcoming experimentation and honoring the personal stories that shape us. Quiroz works primarily with denim and upcycled materials, transforming everyday fabrics into works that connect spirituality, culture, and sustainability. His multidisciplinary practice weaves together rhythm from music, presence from acting, and cultural memory from fashion design to create immersive, emotional experiences. Rooted in authentic self-expression and storytelling as connection, his work invites viewers to reflect on their own narratives and imagine new possibilities for themselves.

Quiroz is co-founder of Lover Nature Collective, a clothing brand inspired by nature and unconditional care. He served as 1st Assistant Director on the music video Holy Water x Wake Self, which received recognition at festivals including the American Indian Film Festival, Mindfield Film Festival, and the London Music Video Festival. As a Media Arts instructor at the New Mexico Academy for the Media Arts, Quiroz teaches music, acting, and textiles, encouraging students to use art as a space for experimentation and truth. He earned his BA in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico in 2019. The artist lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

As an artist, I am pulled by the sounds that become textures, the fabric becomes stories, and performance becomes a mirror. My intention, as I pray, is to expand one’s own understanding of self and create work that invites viewers to feel, question, and reflect parts of themselves in the experience. I explore denim and upcycled fabric/materials to create an experience of conscious thought. I want my viewers to wonder about what is possible and spark a fire within to reach for dreams that pull at their hearts. – Alfredo Quiroz
