In addition to Hartigan, whom he cites as "bringing new insight to his work," Caniglia was also influenced by the Old Masters including Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio.

Caniglia's art has been featured in the Washington Post[1]] and on CNN [2]. He has created book covers for well-known mainstream authors (Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Peter Straub, Douglas Clegg, F. Paul Wilson) and he has done cover art and illustrations for a number of noted horror and fantasy writers including Ed Lee and Charlee Jacob. His work has also appeared in horror magazines such as Rue Morgue, Flesh and Blood, and Cemetery Dance.

Caniglia was nominated first in 2003 for the International Horror Guild Award for best artist in dark fantasy and horror and then again in 2004, this time winning the prestigious award.[3] In 2005 he was nominated for a World Fantasy Award for Best Artist in Fantasy.
