Ciro Marchetti studied art in London, followed by a career working in Europe and South America, where he cofounded what became the region's most significant graphic design agency.

He later transferred to the United States, where he opened a branch office based in Miami. In addition to managing his company, Ciro also gives workshops and lectures on digital imagery and illustration at the Fort Lauderdale Art Institute and continues to create his own visionary art.

The current content and style of his recent illustrations reflect his sources of interest and inspiration, from his early student days when he first came across the delicate pen and ink work of Arthur Rackham to the discovery in later years of the beautiful characters of James Christenson, and surrealistic dream images of Michael Parkes. These, combined with a personal collection of old mechanical instruments and artifacts such as compasses, theodolites, sextants, and kaleidoscopes, provide the inspiration to create richly detailed images that conjure up worlds of fantasy and imagination.

Famous for his best-selling tarot sets and zodiac images, his rich, intricate, and imaginative illustrations make for entrancing magical puzzles.

The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzle lovers and fantasy art fans, this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done repeatedly. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many animal and circus-shaped whimsy pieces that match the artwork's theme, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Ciro Marchetti

Ciro Marchetti is an Italian-born, British-raised artist whose career has spanned continents and creative disciplines. After graduating from Croydon College of Art in the mid-1970s, he co-founded a prominent graphic design firm, Graform International, with offices in London, Caracas, and Miami. His early work focused on corporate branding, packaging, and multimedia design for major international clients. However, Marchetti eventually shifted his focus to personal illustration, a significant move that allowed him to fully express his artistic vision and creativity. He embraced digital tools to craft richly detailed, imaginative works that blend fantasy, symbolism, and classical aesthetics.

Marchetti is best known for his significant contributions to the world of tarot and cartomancy. His acclaimed decks—including The Gilded Tarot, Tarot of Dreams, Legacy of the Divine Tarot, and Kipper—have not only been published in multiple languages but have also redefined the visual language of tarot. They are celebrated for their vivid imagery and intricate symbolism, setting a new standard for tarot decks. Beyond tarot, his artwork has been licensed for posters, puzzles, fabrics, and other merchandise, reaching a global audience. His distinctive style is characterized by a fusion of digital precision and fantastical storytelling, inviting viewers into immersive visual narratives.

Marchetti's journey in art is far from over. Now based in Florida, he continues to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. His exploration of new creative avenues, including animated tarot sequences and immersive digital experiences, inspires artists and enthusiasts alike. His work, recognized with numerous accolades, including multiple Photoshop Guru Awards and international digital art competition wins, resonates across cultures and mediums, blending tradition with technology in an innovative and inspiring way.
