Karen Cantú is a young inspiring designer from Mexico and her otherworldly, magical, and simply gorgeous artworks will blow your mind. Her art can only be described as fantastical realism because the things she creates look incredibly detailed and real, but the combination of subjects is usually something out of this world. She says it’s hard to explain what inspires her or where she gets ideas for her art. Her brain just feels the need to be creative all the time, so pretty much everything in her daily life can become a source of inspiration. Karen says she actually started creating this amazing type of art as a form of self-therapy. She realized that her mind likes creating unrealistic things, sometimes it’s art ideas, other times it could just be worrisome and unrealistic life scenarios that would really upset her. So in order to control this tendency, she just decided to be mindful of what she does and rather than overthink life she just poured her feelings into her art. Let’s take a look at some of her beautiful art and secretly wish that our overthinking could result in such amazing art. If you want to see more of Karen’s art, definitely follow her on Instagram.
