David Palladini

David Palladini (April 1, 1946 – March 13, 2019) was an American illustrator renowned for his work on the Aquarian Tarot deck, first published in 1970. His style, heavily influenced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco, brought a unique, modern twist to traditional tarot symbolism, making the Aquarian Tarot a timeless classic that remains popular to this day. Palladini later reworked this deck into the New Palladini Tarot, released in 1997.

Born in Italy, Palladini immigrated to the United States as a child. He studied art, photography, and film at the Pratt Institute in New York City. His artistic career included illustrating children's books, notably "The Girl Who Cried Flowers" by Jane Yolen, and an edition of Stephen King's "The Eyes of the Dragon".

Palladini's work is characterized by its vibrant colors and dynamic imagery, blending medieval, Egyptian, Renaissance, and modern art elements. Beyond tarot, he continued to paint, write, and exhibit his work, spending his later years in Newport Beach, California.
