In the Umbrian region, cradle of the pre-Renaissance 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 reflective artist who, intelligently,
couples a way of painting with sometimes geometric and rhythmic elements
to that primordial expressiveness of the volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel works,
like the 14th-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist origin
and landscape verticalities, is completed in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; charged with a subtle material symbolism
with mural meaning in which the fresco technique reappears, and,
in that tranquility of places, dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the frame image,
Mirabasso brings 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 eighties and nineties, beyond painting, he worked in the field of advertising graphics and illustration,
collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early nineties he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, perfecting a personal painting technique on panel that would become fundamental for his research, outlining a path that would lead him to establish himself as a professional artist.
Since 1996 he has abandoned advertising graphics and devoted himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions, and showcases his works in Rome, Milan, Florence,
Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padua, Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain),
Taipei (Taiwan). He lives and works in Bastia Umbra, Perugia.
