Verónica Ruth Frías (Spain, 1978) is a Spanish contemporary feminist artist based in Málaga. Her works are created through performances in which the body is subject to the work. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Faculty of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville. Appropriation, costume, and tattoos are some of her tools, which she uses to place her body at the service of art and transform the personal into artistic practices. Sarcasm, irony, and humor are fundamental to the artist, although she addresses very serious themes such as the construction of femininity, motherhood, violence against women, and discrimination against women in art history. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions including Super M at the ECCO in Cádiz, Narraciones Extra(ordinarías) at the ABA Art Gallery in Palma de Mallorca and Yo quiero mucho a mi mamá at the Tula Prins Gallery in Córdoba, and she has received grants and awards such as the INICIARTE Production Grant from the Andalusian Regional Government, the Rafael Botí Grant from the Rafael Botí Provincial Foundation for Plastic Arts in Córdoba, the DESENCAJA Prize for Plastic Arts in Málaga and the 10th Pepe Espaliú Plastic Arts Competition, also in Córdoba.
