Dario Calì

Data and contact details

Born in 1964 in Rome where I live and work.

Graduated in 1982 at the IV Alessandro Caravillani State Art School, Rome

I have been working as an illustrator since 1989 in the publishing and communication sector. I have designed various children's books for Italian and Spanish publishers, but also many illustrations for geographical and historical atlases, editorial magazines, and in many other aspects of communication. I also made several vinyl and music CD covers for underground record companies and emerging bands.

In 2010 I transformed my studio into a workshop open to the public, here I paint, exhibit and sell my works.

I paint mainly with watercolors and acrylics, but I also dedicate myself to digital art.

Having the studio in the tourist area of the city I mostly paint Rome with its famous monuments, life in the picturesque alleys of Trastevere, but there are also paintings of wild animals as a subject or musicians. In digital I produce my personal modern reinterpretation of Greco-Roman mythology: divinities, fantastic animals, episodes from the works of Ovid and Homer.

Since 2010 my works have been on permanent display in my workshop in Vicolo del Piede 18 in the heart of Trastevere and since 2017 I have begun to participate in various group exhibitions, such as:
