Work
" Ruud van Empel has used a digital photographic process to create collages since the early 1980's. He works on one subject at a time ranging from work environments to portraits of women. In each of his series Ruud examines a space, either including humans or void of them. Ruud's series range from The Office (1996-01), Frame Story (1998-00), Study for 4 Women (2000), Study in Green (2003-2004), and World (2005- present). In each series, the use of digital collage allows for a creation of a unique space completely formed from fantasy. Ruud's work is highly detailed and striking in bright color. Ruud van Empel currently lives and works in The Netherlands."-Jackson Fine Art

I am glad that you looked at this artist. You have posted some others that have stronger visual relations, there is a humanistic-ness to this work that I think would be a challenge for you to take on. Also, the use of green growth is exciting in comparison to your work.
