In the Umbrian region, hearth of the prerenaissance era, important for those early realistic sparks that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
An humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently, blends a painterly approach with geometric and rhythmic elements with that primordial expressiveness of the volumes of the medieval world—perhaps the embryo of all later modern art.
A 'delicate harmony' that in his panel works, like the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix 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 resurfaces, and, in that calm of places dear to De Chirico, where space and time halt in the frame, Mirabasso brings surface-facing 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, besides 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 to his research, tracing a path that would lead him to establish himself as a professional artist.
Since 1996 he has left advertising graphics and dedicated himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions, showing 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.
