His artwork is established in most leading art markets and galleries in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Singapore among others.

His work can be found in renowned art collections both public institutions and private. POPA Museum of Art, Switzerland, Acalzar Financial Group Public Collection, Weelock Properties Singapore, Caixa Barcelona City Cultural Institution, Claudia Schieffer Actress, among others.

His work has consistently explored the dialogue of narrative tropes in an image-soaked contemporary environment. Nemo's hyper-realist narrative paintings and his mixed media work evoke the iconic images embedded in the collective unconscious, illustrating the overlap between our memories of images from contemporary cinema and our realworld experiences.

In the latest series, inspired by media, pop culture, and film Jantzen takes Neo-pointillism to the next level, utilizing thousands collection of photography, cinematographic stills, and other collected material encapsulated in glass spheres; hiding and revealing a subject filtered idealized world through the eye of the beholder and depicting the banality of our society and trends in symbolic evocation of a contemporary human journey. The artist is not interested in fragmentation of objects in the real world; he is interested in disclosing the unity underlying "reality".

"I'm trying to capture and cope with those voyeuristic times when surveillance cameras are now accepted in our society; and in the name of media-driven security and control, this imagery has turned into entertainment." -Nemo Jantzen

"I do not just tell a single story neither portray a world of according to the voyeur. With large-scale images built from hundreds of small images, each story is encapsulated in spheres of glass, my work keeps reminding to viewers: 'The more you look, the less you see' "-Nemo Jantzen
