Helga Stentzel is an award-winning artist based in Shepherd's Bush. She works across a wide range of media including illustration, photography, video and stop motion animation. Upon graduating from the prestigious Central Saint Martin's Helga worked in the advertising industry. She also ran a children’s clothing business before becoming a full-time artist.
"My art is about finding magic in the mundane, seeing beauty in imperfections, and connecting to reality in a new way. It's observation without expectations, which sometimes brings fascinating insights. 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. I hope that my work will help people to connect with their inner child and rediscover the joy of savouring little visual delights in and outside their homes."
