albums of different bands from Perú, USA, Canada, Finland and Ireland.

In 2010 he has been chosen to be part of Beinart Surreal Art Collective
and he is an active member in their exhibitions. It is no overstatement to say
that the work of Caruso, which is well represented in the galleries and museums
of Buenos Aires, USA, Mexico, Slovakia and Spain, is currently one of the most pleasant revelations of Latin American plastic arts.
