MARITZA CANCECA

Maritza Caneca is a prolific multidisciplinary artist working across photography, film, cyanotypes, tiles, and painting. Best known for her meditative images of swimming pools, her work explores geometry, memory, and the quiet beauty of light and water. She also documents Latin America’s natural landscapes and built architecture, capturing spaces that hold cultural and emotional resonance.

With over 30 years in cinematography, Caneca was Brazil’s first female Director of Photography in the pre-digital era and worked on films such as Cinema Falado (1986) by Caetano Veloso. Since 2012, pools have remained a central theme in her practice, featured in solo exhibitions in Miami, Rio de Janeiro, and beyond.

Currently an artist-in-residence at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami, Caneca continues her investigation of water as both subject and metaphor.

Brigette Hoffman is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, painting, and animation. Her work is rooted in childhood imagination and spiritual inquiry, bringing to life vivid, character-driven worlds through symbolic forms and saturated color.

A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg, Hoffman has exhibited internationally and collaborated with brands like OMEN, Soho Beach House, and V Magazine. Her ceramic slipper sculptures—playful, surreal, and emotionally resonant—are currently on view at Pendentive Studio.

The design practice of Alexa Gerdingh, a Mexico City–born artist currently studying Product Design in Milan. Her work blends sculpture, analog photography, and functional design, with a focus on playful forms and bold textures.

Drawing from backgrounds in fashion, ceramics, and graphic design, SENDHUESO creates pieces that are both striking and emotionally resonant. Her CAMP LAMPS—available at Pendentive Studio—embody this vision: sculptural, surreal, and full of personality.
