about
Yellow [hola]

I'm ilithya, a multidisciplinary artist, technologist, and educator with a background in creative development and design from México, based in Hamburg, Germany.
I collaborate with other artists, musicians, curators, brands, studios, and independent designers around the world to create mesmerizing visual experiences for fine arts, the web, festivals, music releases and live shows.
I'm a self-taught programmer creating computational artwork with code, written mainly in shaders. I teach often on the subject, as I have a course on fundamentals, a sporadic newsletter, and offer workshops independently focusing on shaders, creative coding, and generative art.
Recently, I finished a year as a part-time research assistant in AI at HAWK University developing a RAG process with open-source LLMs, where I also freelanced as a lecturer imparting a seminar on Computational Thinking and Creative Coding for bachelor and master students.
My practice is constant research and self-therapy expressed as visual compositions through emerging technologies. It begins with an introspection as well as a study of algorithms.
Inspired by life experiences, sound, surrealism, and the abstract, I shape and layer moving forms with color palettes directed by my emotions. I explore themes of sanity along with consciousness states intending to provoke hypnotic sensations.
