Inca Starzinsky

Bio

Inca Starzinsky is a London-based artist and designer. Originally a graphic designer, after graduation from Central St Martins, she spent 5 years as artist-in-residence in their printmaking department. A desire to apply her print practice to three-dimensional objects led her to pursue a Masters in Printed Textiles at the Royal College of Art. After graduation from the RCA, she wanted to make work that would incorporate her background and knowledge from graphics, screen printing and textiles. And eventually she settled on jewellery making. And in 2019, she began a three year part-time course at K2 Jewellery Academy in London, which helped her focus on finding a way to realise her designs and love for paint and colour in sculptural forms. Since 2023, Inca designs and makes contemporary jewellery from her studio in East London.

Statement

My grandma once told me that she finds memories more valuable than possessions, as nobody can take these away from you, they are yours to keep. Memories and feelings are fundamentally intangible. They can never be fully shown or explained to anyone other than oneself. In my most recent project, I experiment with turning some into precious objects, finding a way that I would like them to live on, and not be forgotten – especially the memories of moments with people who are no more.
