Janet Piedilato is an American artist and author recognized for her work in the field of contemporary tarot. She became known for a unique approach to symbolic imagery, blending visual storytelling, introspection, and psychological reading of archetypes. Her best-known work remains the Tarot of the New Vision, published by Lo Scarabeo, in which she offers a reinterpretation of the Rider-Waite tarot by reversing the viewpoint of the scenes, as if the gaze were placed behind the traditional figures.
Through this process, Janet Piedilato does not seek to reinvent classical symbolism but to reveal the invisible areas, hidden intentions, and inner dynamics that the images suggest without showing them directly. Her work is part of an introspective approach, attentive to psychological mechanisms, emotions, and human choices, rather than a rigid esoteric tradition.
Her narrative and sensitive approach to tarot has influenced many readers by offering a tool for reflection focused on consciousness, personal responsibility, and the perception of the inner world. She thus holds a unique place in the landscape of modern tarot, at the crossroads of art, symbolism, and introspective reading.
