Pamela Scherson (1994, Mexico City), AKA, La Changa Pachanga, is a tattoo artist and multidisciplinary artist based in Mexico City. Growing up in the city, she drew inspiration from pop culture and the visual details of her surroundings. Along with tattooing, La Changa also creates murals, paste-ups, animation pieces, and digital illustrations. Her work is characterized by a trashy, irreverent aesthetic, and seeks to capture the spirit of childhood and the imaginary world. Through her art, she brings to life whimsical and imaginary creatures that reside within the depths of our unconscious minds.
Statement
In my artistic practice, which extends from tattooing to painting, I am consistently drawn to capturing aspects of pop culture through the lens of my inner child's ignorant perspective. By prioritizing spontaneity and embracing intentional mistakes, I aim to shed light on the unconventional beauty found within ignorance.
To bring my artistic vision to life, I work primarily on large canvases, employing a diverse range of materials such as chalk, oil pastels, and color pencils. Through the deliberate manipulation of textures, I strive to evoke a sense of childhood innocence and wonder in my pieces. This exploration of textures and materials allows me to uncover the unique and hidden beauty within ignorance.
By intentionally painting with imperfect lines and utilizing every inch of the canvas, I incorporate beautiful-ugly details that fill what may traditionally be perceived as "negative" space. This approach, combined with my playful experimentation with textures, further enhances the evocative power of my work, transporting viewers into a realm of enchantment and curiosity.
