Iliana Ortega (born 1981, in Mexico City, Mexico) is a contemporary visual artist who works with photography, painting, drawing, site-specific installation, and video. [1] [2]
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]
Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Anahuacalli Museum as part of the Diego Rivera XIII Biennial, Higher Pictures Generation Gallery, and Museo del Vidrio. Ortega received the Edward F. Albee Foundation Artist Residency Fellowship in Montauk, NY.
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.

Angelina Beloff was a Russian-born artist who did most of her work in Mexico. However, she is better known as Diego Rivera’s first wife, and her work has been overshadowed by his and that of his later wives. She studied art in Saint Petersburg and then went to begin her art career in Paris in 1909. This same year she met Rivera and married him. In 1921, Rivera returned to Mexico, leaving Beloff behind and divorcing her. She never remarried. In 1932, through her contacts with various Mexican artists, she was sponsored to live and work in the country. She worked as an art teacher, a marionette show creator and had a number of exhibits of her work in the 1950s. Most of her work was done in Mexico, using Mexican imagery, but her artistic style remained European. In 1978, writer Elena Poniatowska wrote a novel based on her life.

She is based in Los Angeles.

Harriet Korman is an American abstract painter based in New York City, who first gained attention in the early 1970s. She is known for work that embraces improvisation and experimentation within a framework of self-imposed limitations that include simplicity of means, purity of color, and a strict rejection of allusion, illusion, naturalistic light and space, or other translations of reality. Writer John Yau describes Korman as "a pure abstract artist, one who doesn’t rely on a visual hook, cultural association, or anything that smacks of essentialization or the spiritual," a position he suggests few post-Warhol painters have taken. While Korman's work may suggest early twentieth-century abstraction, critics such as Roberta Smith locate its roots among a cohort of early-1970s women artists who sought to reinvent painting using strategies from Process Art, then most associated with sculpture, installation art and performance. Since the 1990s, critics and curators have championed this early work as unjustifiably neglected by a male-dominated 1970s art market and deserving of rediscovery.
