Ines Fernandez de Cordova’s multidisciplinary practice unfolds across several stages, grounded in the sculptural forms she creates using plaster or jesmonite. These works act as entry points into uncanny, imagined scenes. She embraces the delicate and often unstable nature of her sculptures, using repetition and collage to imply movement, while her printmaking practice serves to arrest that motion, fixing each composition in time.
A recurring theme throughout her work is sequence; through mirrored and parallel forms, she evokes the sense of a narrative unfolding, suggesting both a before and an after, and hinting at a story beyond the frame.

Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, Fernandez de Cordova has lived and worked in London since 2011. Alongside her artistic practice, she works as a print technician at Camberwell College of Arts and with artist Anita Klein. She studied at Camberwell College of Arts, earning an MA in Visual Arts: Printmaking (2015–2017) and a BA in Illustration (2012–2015), following a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design from CCW, University of the Arts London (2011–2012).

“The sculptures are not necessarily literal representations of anything in particular with the intention that hopefully they evoke a feeling and perhaps nudge a memory for the person looking at them.”
