Early life

Enrique grew up in Mexico City. He studied genetics at the University of Nottingham, England,[1] and received an MBA from Columbia Business School in New York City.[2]

Photography

Enrique was a freelance IT consultant before he turned to photography, which he studied at Parsons and at the School of Visual Arts.[3] His portrait of Mother & Daughter was considered for the Photographic Portrait Prize at London's National Portrait Gallery.[4][5] Subsequently, he has been nominated and short listed for various awards.[6][7][8]

In 2011, Enrique won the Curator Award / Emerging Artist of the Year for Still Photography.[9] and in 2013, his "Vertumnus" was included in The History of Still Life in Ten Masterpieces[10] as the Tenth Masterpiece, alongside works by Cézanne, Goya, and Warhol. His work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Leslie/Lohman Museum and the Haggerty Museum of Art.[11][12]
