Piero Elia wrote him in 1990

Caputo's art, free from every outside influence or conditioning, is authentic and spontaneous, coherent and tenacious in the compleity of the questions it poses. His creative attitude is revealed in the delicate tonal and decorative harmony of his ceramics, in his abstract modular sculptures and in his polymaterial compositions.

The need for freedom in composition which emerges in all his work is sustained by an imagination that accepts inspiration with a coherent vision that is not subordinate to a formal logic. The essential geometry of the layers modelled in a close relation-ship of physical truth and fantastic evasion, vibrant with intrinsic light, seems to create ways for emotions that hover in space, and with thread like lines measure the laceration of the material, an evocation and variation of a language transformed, of the varied vicissitudes of human life.

Caputo's spatial ability, in his references to nature, disturbing in the unexpectedness of their theme, reveals multiple emotions linked together by edged space that give the surface a luminous depth of vibrant memories, threaded by thoughts held by knots, dotted marks, from which a web of musical rythms and intimate harmonies is woven; the variations of a language that touches the most sublime elegange of the dream-object, symbol of multiple emotional and sensual references.
