Artist / illustrator • www.santiagocaruso.tk / http://www.facebook.com/pages/Santiago-CARUSO/200373558474

Buenos Aires, Argentina (1982)
Symbolist and surreal illustrator, with an avant-garde concept but rooted in the nineteenth century aesthethic. Dedicated to fantasy, supernatural, horror, suspense, essay and poetry.
Among his most important publishings you can find:
"The Dunwich Horror" by H. P. Lovecraft; "The Bloody Countess" by Alejandra Pizarnik
and"The Monk and the Hangman´s Daughter" by Ambrose Bierce (Libros del Zorro Rojo);
"The Peacock Escritoire" by Mark Valentine (Ex Occidente Press);
"Three Great Plays of Shakespeare" and "Don Quixote", (Penguin Readers).

He has also made covers for Nightshade Books, Miskatonic River Press, Cántaro, Sudamericana, Emecé, Planeta and Páginas de Espuma, among others. Nowadays, he publish his art on the mythical magazine CARAS Y CARETAS.
In 2010 he has been chosen to be part of Beinart International Surreal Art Collective,
and he is an active member in their exhibitions.

His work stands out both for its vigor as well as for its technique.
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 and Spain, is currently one of the most pleasant revelations of Latin American plastic arts.
