Cristina Córdova is an American-born, Puerto Rican sculptor who works and lives in Penland, North Carolina.

As an award winning artist who primarily sculpts in clay, she focuses her work on expressive, emotional, and sometimes fantastical human figural sculptures. These sculptures are inspired by her heritage, gender, politics, and the complexities of human relationships with their surroundings. "Magic realism, the predominantly Latin American literary genre, is physically manifested through the surrealistic environments Córdova's subjects inhabit."

Influenced by the Catholic iconography of her youth in San Juan, Córdova now aims to create figures of her "own pantheon" while trying to emulate a figure representative of and recognizable by her own culture. The sculptures are shown in a variety of poses, expressions, colors, textures, and sizes. Córdova has won many awards, exhibited her work broadly, and her work is owned by both domestic and international museums.
