Spanish Artists Crajes Mind Game Create Creepily Cute Artwork

— May 8, 2011 — Art & Design
At first thought the words "girly" and "grotesque" couldn’t seem more different; however, two Spanish artists were able to combine both words to form eye-catching art. The Spanish team is known as Crajes Mind Game and the artists' paintings combine innocent cartoonlike figures with bizarre elements of horror.

Crajes Mind Game art is a unique pairing of washed-out colors and vibrant images. LifeLounge describes Crajes Mind Game by saying, “the Spanish pair blends saccharine pastel characters reminiscent of Pinocchio, Disney princesses and Bambi-type critters with… all kinds of mutant features.”

The distinctive artwork of Crajes Mind Game allows viewers to blur the boundaries between girly and grotesque.
