Yolanda Ceballos (b. Monterrey, Mexico) is an artist and architect based in Paris. Her work builds architecture with atmosphere. She develops Temporal Architecture, a system in which humidity, temperature, condensation, evaporation, scent and salt crystallisation construct matter. The atmosphere of another place and date is regenerated in the present, and its interference with the existing atmosphere, which she calls the Third State, builds an architecture that is never finished and keeps changing for as long as the system runs.

Ceballos holds an MFA from the Glasgow School of Art and a BA in Architecture from ITESM. Recent solo exhibitions include Here it's always Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday (Pequod Co. and Museo MARCO, 2024–2025), Out of Time and Into Space (ARCO Madrid, 2023) and (change of state) (Pequod Co., 2022). She was artist-in-residence at the Académie des Beaux-Arts × Cité internationale des arts, Paris (2025–2026), where she developed Atmospheric Mechanism 2.0, and previously at Casa NaNo (Tokyo), TRIANGLE (New York) and Casa Wabi (Oaxaca). She received the SNCA, Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte (2020, 2026), and the FONCA Young Creators grant. Her work is in the John Kinross Collection at the Royal Scottish Academy (Edinburgh), Centro de las Artes (Monterrey) and Phillips/Yuyito (Mexico City).
