AboutPamela Sustaita artist (México, 1993) Her work focuses mainly on the study of identity, gender, alienation, violence and the absurdly childish. Her discourse is built through tiny and compulsive worlds that refer to the dream, alluding to the nightmare as well as the intersection between the real and the unreal. Her influences include the work of Henry Darger, Yoshitomo Nara, and Alejandra Pizarnik, as well as her obsession with Japanese culture, art brut, and children's art. She develops her work mainly through drawing and writing. She is a graduate of the National School of Painting, Sculpture & Engraving "La Esmeralda", México City, and has been a grant holder in the FONCA (National fund for Culture and the Arts of the mexican goverment) at the 'Jóvenes Creadores’ program specializing in drawing.
