Artist Helga Stentzel Turns Everyday Items Into Fun Little Characters

We see and use them every day, everyday items have been basic parts of our daily lives. So, they’re not especially interesting because we’re used to these things every single day. But not for Russian-born, London-based visual artist Helga Stentzel. With her playful imagination, she reimagines even the most mundane household stuff into fascinating characters.

 

Hanging laundry transformed into a horse, lettuces forming an adorable dog, washing machines making a funny face, and a pair of tea bags reading a book. This creative artist never runs out of ideas as she could draw inspiration from everyday items around her. In her series of prints called Household Surrealism, Stentzel rejigs ordinary things to make them appear like playful characters with fanciful emotions.

 

 

A visual treat as you see the wonderful world of Stentzel where ordinary objects turn extraordinarily fun. Or, you can see more and follow the visual artist on Instagram to get updated with her latest creations. You’ll never look at everyday items the same way.
