Native Pueblo sculptor, Cliff Fragua, has learned the secret of the stone through his
cultural and ancestral teachings. Based in Native American themes, his work shows pride for his culture and a deep understanding of the inherent spirituality of the stone. He has chosen stone as his medium of expression because it is a combination of the basic elements of the earth. He feels that the honesty and purity of this most basic of material permits him to express himself from the heart and to express the spirit that Native people respect an revere as embodied in the stone.

Since 1974, when he created his first stone sculpture, Fragua has created a
significant body of work that keeps evolving with the artist’s new influences and new
interests. His sculptures are featured in such public locations as the Albuquerque
International Airport and in permanent collections throughout the country. He has
been included in major invitational exhibitions and one-man shows in leading
museums and galleries and has earned highest honors and awards for his sculptures.
