Ettenbergs Arbeiten vereinen die New Yorker Schule und den europäischen Surrealismus. Sein künstlerischer Ausdruck entspringt seinem Spürsinn für Zeichen und figurative Formen. Spontane Reaktionen u. Entwicklungen führen ihn oft zu Themen, die in Bilderzyklen enden. Der Künstler arbeitet themenbezogen, dennoch ist er sich niemals sicher, wie letztendlich das Endbild aussehen wird. Seine Werk entstehen oft kurzfritig, Der Künstler: "... die besten festgelegten Pläne von Mäusen und Männern, kommen häufig von ihrem  Weg ab."

His work owes much to the New York School and to European Surrealism. His art is built upon intuitive reactions to making marks and shapes. These reactions and spontaneous developments may lead to themes coming forth in given pieces. Occasionally, the artist conceives of a theme before the work is begun but is never certain how the final picture will appear.
