Biography

Ortega spent the first ten years of her career using the language of site-specific installation by combining elements from painting and abstract drawing.[3] Since 2010 Iliana has been specializing in photography, using conceptual elements to influence her photographic procedures, as well as to integrate philosophical concepts about the way light behaves. Ortega's paintings and drawings are influenced by modernist approaches. Currently, Ortega explores mixed media and compositional improvisation. Her latest body of work incorporates drones to capture photography and video footage that is then digitally and manually manipulated.[4] [5]

Ortega received her BFA from Guanajuato University and received her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University School of Art.[6] She splits her time between New York City and Honolulu, Hawaii.
