What if you spent every day looking for One Beautiful Thing?

Helga Stentzel

Visual artist Helga Stentzel has a great eye and a wonderful sense of humor. Her art is all about connecting her viewers with their inner children and discovering joy in the mundane. With the placement of a few everyday objects (like laundry on a line), she transforms the most ubiquitous objects and scenes into animals and people, and they all make me smile.

“My art 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!”
