Maya Weishof (1993) lives and works in São Paulo. Her practice unfolds mainly through painting and drawing on surfaces such as canvases and fabrics. The artist uses fragments, distortions, caricatures, and hybrid creatures to create images in which body and landscape reveal themselves as substance for one another.

Weishof takes drawing as the starting point for her work, constructing it from memories, myths, and scenes that engage with art history or, more specifically, with the history of images. Her work seeks to escape the premise of a linear or self-contained narrative, expanding figuration toward an imaginary of multiple semantic unfoldings.

Lambida (2025) is part of the artist’s research on erotic imagery and its ramifications. Immersing herself in ancient erotic illustrations such as Shungas, as well as photographs, drawings, and paintings, she develops a series of images that blend these references with her personal universe.
