In the Umbrian region, cradle of the pre-Renaissance era, notable for those early realistic sparks that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet thoughtful artist who, cleverly, couples a way of painting that is partly geometric and rhythmic with the primordial expressive quality of the volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel, such as the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix and landscape verticalities, completes itself in his painting techniques, almost marble-like; charged with a subtle material symbolism with a mural meaning in which the fresco technique re-emerges, and, in that tranquility of places dear to De Chirico, where space and time halt in the image of the frame, Mirabasso brings to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

BIOGRAPHY

Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959.
In 1979 he graduated from the Ripetta Art High School in Rome.
Between the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting, he worked in advertising graphics and illustration, collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
At the early 1990s he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, perfected a personal painting technique on panel that would become fundamental to his research, tracing a path that would lead him to establish himself as a professional artist.
From 1996 he abandoned advertising graphics and dedicated himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions, and shows 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.
