Fiona Cuypers-Stanienda (b. 1992) is a Swiss-German-American artist specializing in analog photography. Her work focuses on the interplay between people and spaces, exploring themes of ownership, emotional connection, and authenticity. Drawing on her background in architecture, Fiona’s images capture the profound relationships humans form with their environments, revealing how spaces shape identity and experience.

Fiona holds a Master in Architecture (M.Arch) and AA Diploma from the Architectural Association in London, with additional studies at ETH Zurich and the University of the Arts Berlin. In 2024, she received a business grant from the German government to expand her practice, combining analog photography with human-centered narratives.

As the founder and creative director of Terrace Collective, Fiona curates exhibitions that bridge architecture and art, fostering collaborations with institutions, artists, and audiences. She is also a partner at the Radical Research & Re-storying Agency (RRA), where she reimagines architectural narratives through interdisciplinary approaches to storytelling.

Her work has been featured in Architect’s Journal, Wallpaper, and REAL and exhibited at venues such as the AA Bookshop in London and the British School at Rome. 

Fiona is available for commissions, collaborations, workshops, and limited-edition print sales.
