Since its inaugural edition, Omni has featured the art of Robert Venosa on its covers and ages in more than 25 issues. The Fantastic Realism of Venosa has been exhibited worldwide and been the subject of three books: Manas Manna, Noospheres, and the upcoming Drifts with Terence McKenna (who was the subject of the Omni Interview, May 1993). In addition to painting, sculpting, and film design (he worked on the movie, Dune, in collaboration with H.R. Giger, and Fire in The Sky for Paramount Pictures), Venosa has added computer art to his artistic pursuits. He has also recently started to teach and conduct workshops at such institutes as Naropa in Boulder, Colorado, Skyros Institute on the Island of Skyros in Greece, and Esalen at Big Sur, California. Perhaps the best description of Venosa's work comes from others who are respected masters themselves.

• Bravo Venosa! Dali is pleased to see spiritual madness painted with such a fine technique.

  --Salvador Dali

• Robert Venosa's art truly captures the imprint of a spiritual force, each painting so alive, seeming to breathe, pulsate, and stare back at you, challenging the viewer to also reach their highest potential.

  --Carlos Santana

• An inspired being like Venosa has got to paint visions. One expects that from him.

  --H.R. Giger

• Venosa submerges into the cosmic mysteries and brings back fantasic visions dressed in the perfect and classic technique of a painter who completely masters his art.

  --Jean 'Moebius' Giraud

• Robert Venosa creates mythical mindscapes that fascinate and illuminate. His tableaux are windows into timeless vistas of the inner realities.

  --Dr. Tim Leary

Having recently completed the artwork for Kitaro's album, Mandala, Venosa's work will be the subject of a number of retrospective exhibits in major museums throughout Japan in the coming year.

Much of the art seen on the website is available as Limited Edition Prints. Information regarding the art of Robert Venosa is available through Robert John Ltd. (303) 440-8905, or at Venosa's web site: www.venosa.com
