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.
