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.
