About the artwork.
Cristina Córdova’s figures have been described as having “a compelling strain of magical realism.” Referencing her Afro-Caribbean heritage, Córdova’s work speaks from “a collective creativity.” Of her often expressionless figures, such as Tiempo Sin Memoria, Córdova says she “tries to understand the indeterminate and ever changing aspects of humanity.” Interested in encouraging an examination of the human condition, Córdova represents the figural, using visual metaphor, color, line, and space, to manipulate her forms.
