Pamela (Xinyu) Chen, who also works under the artist name Alien Pam in China, is a freelance illustrator and independent artist. She studied illustration in the U.S., and has received awards both internationally and in China, with solo exhibitions showcasing her work. She now works with clients across different countries.
Her digital illustrations use vibrant flat colors to create dreamlike worlds blending nostalgic touches with future fantasy. Pamela’s art exists between reality and dream. Inspired by music, fashion, and cinematic moments, she tells visual stories featuring surreal female figures drifting between emotion and imagination.
She is open to all possibilities for growth as an artist. Her current interests include fashion and editorial illustration, motion graphics, infographics, commercial projects, children’s books, and more—always seeking new ways to turn feeling into form.
