about me
I am a US-Hispanic (Argentinian) Actress & Comedian awarded with the Latin ATI. I started acting when I was a little girl putting on shows in the neighborhood and since then, I did not stop. I took extensive training with top-notch coaches/acting schools both in Buenos Aires and the USA and have performed in numerous films, plays and commercials. I am the co-creator of the Comedy Web Series "Gemelas Onassis" and creator of the performance "El Desorden de las Cosas". I hold a Master's Degree in Political Science from the University of Buenos Aires.
Among my achievements, I played the lead role "Inez" for the film "The Magician Wife" nominated for best Mystical/Spiritual short at the Cannes World Film Festival 2022. Also, I was part of the cast from the film "The Dispensable", Selected Official -among others- for the Toronto Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival 2020 and Remi Award Winner 2021.

"YOU WERE JUST INCREDIBLE ON THE SHOOT. WHAT A PLEASURE TO KNOW YOU. YOUR WORK WAS EXTRAORDINARY, EVEN WITH THE EYE ISSUE YOU WERE SUFFERING WITH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR POSITIVE ENERGY AND FOR UNDERSTANDING WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET ACROSS IN THE FILM. AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING YOUR FABULOUS DRESS AND BOOTS. IT TRULY BROUGHT INEZ TO LIFE. MARITZA, I JUST CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. YOU ARE TRULY A STAR."
- dir. ELIZBETH BRUNDAGE, "A MAGICIAN'S WIFE", NOMINATED BEST MYSTICAL/SPIRITUAL SHORT, CANNES WORLD FILM FESTIVAL 2022

"The genius of Maritza Vives was the total salvation of the play. Her scenic impressions motivated to total laughter from the audience again and again . Without her performance, the play would have not taken unpredictable turns of not prescribed joy and energy that broke the monotony of the play composed".
