Pendentive Studio
Pendentive Studio is a contemporary art gallery in Miami's MiMo District, and the working offices of Phoebe O'Neill Interiors.
Work is hung salon style and set among vintage pieces, giving each artwork the warmth and context of a real room. Our artists come from Miami and far beyond.
As the home of a design studio, we believe original art is what gives a space its depth and soul, the difference between a room that merely photographs well and one that genuinely feels alive. So come in, get close to the work, stay awhile, and imagine how a piece might live in a space of your own.

Current Exhibition
Proportion becomes language in the daily ritual of a geometric diary. Rios's practice moves between architecture and painting, building compositions that are both measured and felt. His work draws on Le Corbusier's Polychromie Architecturale, a logical approach to color theory developed by the modernist architect.
The proportion of each piece is guided by the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical pattern where each number is the sum of the two before it. This golden ratio appears throughout nature, from the spiral of a conch shell to the arms of a galaxy, and has shaped classical architecture for centuries for its inherent visual harmony. Every geometry is determined by what precedes it, the past shaping the present through progression rather than narrative.
Stripe Diaries gathers the stripe paintings alongside other explorations in geometry, tracing the quiet tension between discipline and intuition, structure and sensation, and the slow unfolding of what first appears simple.
This show is in collaboration with New York based gallery, Kates-Ferri Projects.

Past Exhibitions
Leah Mendez is a traditional oil painter whose work reimagines found photographs—discarded snapshots that capture fleeting, unposed moments of human connection. Painting on birch wood panels, she slows time to reveal tenderness in the ordinary: children playing, lovers embracing, elders smiling.
In transforming anonymous figures into familiar presences, her work dissolves the boundary between stranger and beloved, honoring what might otherwise be lost.
Found, her latest series, gives these forgotten images a second life, inviting viewers to step into the intimate worlds of people across time.
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.
Lisu Vega and Juan Henriquez are life and studio partners whose practices grow from shared roots. Both raised in Venezuela's Maracaibo, now making work in Miami. Though their mediums diverge, their concerns rhyme: the body as landscape, gesture as record, material as memory.
Vega weaves with recycled rope and fiber, drawing from Indigenous Wayuu traditions to map migration, ancestry, and the passage of time. Henriquez works across painting and mixed media, treating the canvas as an open field where intuition and chance collide.
Intertwined brings both independent and collaborative works into the same space, tracing the invisible threads between two people, two ways of making, and a world held in common.
This show is in collaboration with New York based gallery, Kates-Ferri Projects.
