Work
Caivano is known for his highly detailed and intricate, story-like ink drawings, dealing with themes of folklore, love, and technology. His drawings are typically free of color and focus on fastidious line work, which express influence from the etchings of Albrecht Dürer.{{Cite web|url=https://ocula.com/artists/ernesto-caivano/|title=Ernesto Caivano|last=|first=|date=|website=ocular.com|publisher=|access-date=December 15, 2016}}
