In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prerenaissance era,
important for those first realistic sparks
that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms
of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet thoughtful artist who, intelligently,
attaches a way of painting to times with geometric and rhythmic traits
to that expressive primordiality of volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel paintings,
like the 14th-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix
and landscape verticalisms, completes itself in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; charged with a subtle material symbolism
with mural significance in which the fresco technique reappears and,
in that tranquility of places, dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the image of a frame,
Mirabasso brings back to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

BIOGRAPHY

Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959.
In 1979 he graduated from the Liceo Artistico Ripetta in Rome.
Between the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting,
he worked in the field of graphic advertising and illustration,
collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
At the beginning of the 1990s he began painting
his first metaphysical compositions, refining a personal
technique on board that would become fundamental for his research,
mapping a path that would establish him as a professional artist.
Since 1996 he has abandoned graphic design and devoted himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions and has shown his works in Rome, Milan, Florence,
Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padua, Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain),
