The artist writes,
Ana Elena Pena is a versatile
artist from Valencia (Spain) who
has created pictures and
performances about sex and
violence. After a brief contact
with the world of comics (with the
fanzine "Who does love Eggy
Crash?"), and photography ("My
First Menstruation"), she made her
debut as a shorts director with
"Puppyta sexual" and
"De-generation X." The doll
collection she has made recently,
"Sweets & Needles," tries to
rediscover and subvert feminine
archetypes which underlie the
collective unconscious with a
combination of sweetness and
sadism, erotism and ingenuousness,
from the virginal goddess to the
"femme fatale." Lovelies and evil
women, glamorous pornostars,
depraved nurses, goddesses of love
and death that mix to perfection
the right doses of pain and
pleasure, Eros and Thanatos in
eternal fight.
