Enrico Bach's compositions are characterized by the division of the pictorial space into two halves. A picture-within-a-picture principle in which each side stands on its own and yet corresponds with the other half. The layered areas of color and pattern thus create the illusion of a more or less deep space. At the same time, Bach leaves behind the conventional compositional pattern of a centered motif: the picture's edge, ground and interfaces become depth-giving design levels.
