ARTISTIC WORK AND STYLE
<\/span>His work often focuses on balance and color, with particular attention to composition and confusion. He transforms everyday scenes \u2013 interi- ors, objects, buildings, landscapes into visually powerful images.
<\/span>He is inspired by, among others, Magritte (surrealism), M.C. Escher (perspective and visual illusion) and Andreas Gursky (large-scale, monumental). In later periods, he sometimes returns to abstraction \u2013 processing with digital techniques, making images seem almost like painting. He describes it as \u201cpainting with my computer on the pixels of reality\u201d.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

His work is in the possession of several internationally renowned art collections.
One of his better-known projects\/ series is \u2018The Colors of Enno\u2019, a year-long trip around the world in collaboration with one of the world\u2019s leading paint companies, AkzoNobel.<\/p>

CAREER PATH
Before his switch to artistry, he was responsible for long-running portrait series for print media \u2013 both as a photographer and writer.
<\/span>Since the switch to visual art, he has devoted himself entirely to creating photographic (and digitally manipulated) works.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
