Engelman was educated at the Amsterdamse Grafische School during the German occupation of the Netherlands under the lithographer and photographer Bernard F. Eilers in 1940–1941. To avoid being sent to a German forced labor camp in 1942, he fled to the south of the country where he stayed with an uncle and began work as a typesetter in Maastricht. He was able to travel to London in 1944 where he found work for the Dutch navy as a graphic designer making war propaganda.[1] After the war he worked for A.M. Cassandre from 1948 to 1952.[1]
His first signed works are registered from 1953. From 1970 to 1989 he worked as a teacher for the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin-Charlottenburg.[1] His older brother Hans and son Piet were also painters.[2][3]
