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 but reflective artist who, intelligently, couples a way of painting that is at times geometric and rhythmic with that primordial expressive immediacy 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 thirteenth- 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 reappears and, in that tranquility of places, dear to De Chirico, where space and time stop in the image of the frame, Mirabasso brings surfaces of metaphysical memory to life.

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, besides painting, he worked in graphic design and illustration, collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early nineties he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, refining 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 graphic design and devoted 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.
