# Artistic Grouchy Greens The Klaus Enrique Veggie and Fruit Portraits Look Good Enough to Eat By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klaus-enrique References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/photographer-makes-creative-portraits-from-fruits-vegetables-and-flowers.html) & [klausenrique](http://www.klausenrique.com/art/67/gallery.html) Klaus Enrique is a New York-based photographer who has created some pretty amazing works of art using [fruits, vegetables and flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-european-produce). Enrique was originally inspired to work with food after he photographed a human eye peeking out amongst a pile of leaves and realized that he could use the leaves to make a portrait that looked human. While I'm sure [portraits made of leaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-food) would have looked awesome, I'm glad Enrique passed them up in favor of working with food. These images are stunning, especially the [profile made out of flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits). People often remark that art looks good enough to eat, and that statement has never been truer than when directed at the work of Klaus Enrique. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Food Art:** Opportunity for innovative products and services that incorporate food as an artistic medium. - **Sustainability in Art:** Opportunity for environmentally friendly techniques and materials in the creation of food-based art. - **Multisensory Art:** Opportunity to create art that engages several senses, such as taste and sight, for a unique and memorable experience. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity to expand product offerings to include food-based art as a way to enhance the dining experience. - **Fine Arts:** Opportunity to incorporate sustainable and unconventional materials, such as fruits and vegetables, in traditional art forms. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Opportunity to attract tourists and customers through unique and interactive food-based art installations and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Fruit-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitinspired-furniture-collection.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Agriculturally Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs.md) - [Fruit-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md)
