Everyday Household Items Transformed Into Playful Characters By Artist Helga Stentzel

Helga Stentzel is a London-based artist who put the soul into objects. Like God created humans from clay, the artist uses her talent to turn inanimate items into lively, playful characters. Life is always full of opportunities, and in the eye of an artist like Helga Stentzel, everything can be a piece of art. From her perspective, food, clothes, machines, or tools look so different.
She shared thoughts about the series: “To me, household surrealism is about finding magic in the mundane, seeing beauty in imperfections, and connecting to our reality in a new way. I love noticing playful similarities – be it a sweater on a clothing line looking like a horse or a slice of bread resembling a dog’s head. It’s only the starting point though. From this moment onward the stories and visuals start buzzing in my head: What will this horse look like? What’s her name and character? Does she like racing with other horses? – the list goes on and on!”
