In the Umbrian region, hearth of the pre-Renaissance era,
important for those early realistic glints that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms
of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently,
unites a sometimes geometric and rhythmic approach to painting with the primordial expressiveness of the volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel paintings,
like the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of a 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 resurfaces and,
in that tranquility of places, dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the image of a 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 Liceo Artistico Ripetta in Rome.
During the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting he worked in the field of advertising graphics and illustration,
collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early 1990s he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, refining a personal painting technique on panel that would become fundamental for his search,
tracing a path that would establish him as a professional artist.
Since 1996 he has left advertising graphics behind 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),
Taipei (Taiwan). He lives and works in Bastia Umbra, Perugia.
