I paint because I have to. As one critic put it: "In Caputi's paintings the idea predominates. The reconciliation is of the dependency, the non-isolation of being - the pain of existence - with apotheois of man himself, man the self masker. The predominance of the curved line as protection, as matrix, is an asseretion of the continuum of experience; the enigma of experience itself is the irony. These ideologically complex paintings are permeated with an awaeness of the turmoil of space as it relates to the precarious balance of man's being in time." I believe that art takes us beyond the actual into the possible, the subliminal, and, eventually, the transcendental.
