Maya Weishof
Film directed by Alexa Caravia for Fountainhead Arts
Maya Weishof is a Brazilian artist born in Curitiba in 1993 and based in São Paulo, working primarily with painting and drawing on canvas and fabric. Her practice explores the relationship between body and landscape through fragments, distortions, caricatures, and hybrid figures, engaging themes of eroticism, intimacy, and the representation of the female body. Rooted in drawing, her work draws from memory, myth, and art historical references to construct open-ended compositions that resist linear narratives and expand figuration into layered fields of meaning. Her recent solo exhibitions include O último dia do século at Millan, São Paulo (2023); Fever Nights at Galerie Hussenot, Paris (2022); Headless at Kupfer, London (2021); Primeiros Sóis at Auroras, São Paulo (2020); and Os substitutos at Boiler Galeria, Curitiba (2019). She has participated in the 14th Mercosur Biennial (2025) and group exhibitions at institutions and galleries including Palazzo Monti, Museo Oscar Niemeyer, Instituto Tomie Ohtake, Nara Roesler, and Cisterna Galeria, among others.
