Must one suffer to create art? Is an artist's life only unacknowledged work and unrecognized sacrifice? David's writings, and more importantly - his life and art - say no. Great beauty can come from joy just as easily, if not more so, than from pain and suffering.\u003cp\u003eBorn in Italy and emigrated to America as a child, David Palladini's dual cultural background is expressed in the lush creativity of his work. After studying art, photography, and film at New York's Pratt Institute, David's first professional assignment was as a photographer for the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid is know for the intense colors and dramatic delicacy of his work. Having drawn a variety of works, from movie posters to magazine covers, David is also know for his creation of \u003ci\u003eThe Aquarian Tarot\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New Palladini Tarot\u003c\/i\u003e, both published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid has worked and lived in The Hamptons (New York State), Jamaica, and France.
