Peter Cordova (b. 1966) has a decades-long practice across ceramic sculpture, illustration, and printmaking. In his work, his biggest references are his Filipino heritage and his interest in Indigenous American cultures. He is also inspired by nature, National Geographic, and Channel Nine. The brother of a figurative artist and a proud member of Creativity Explored for three decades and counting, Cordova invests as much time in supporting and amplifying other artists as he spends on his own making. His priority in community-building exemplifies his belief in wisdom as an important resource.
Cordova has participated in over seventy exhibitions nationally, including his solo show at Creativity Explored, To the Place Where I Grew Up (2022); Unseen Histories: AAPI Voices in Contemporary Art (2025) at Levi’s Plaza; and a 2026 solo exhibition at Et al. in San Francisco. Cordova’s work is in the permanent collections of SFMOMA and the Oakland Museum of California.
