Mirabasso - Oltre la collina

TECHNIQUE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Each painting by Carlo Mirabasso, a painter since 1975, is created entirely by hand, excluding the use of prints, reproductions or other photomechanical techniques. The artist starts from a white, tactile support (canvas or panel), then sketches the image with pencil, letting the work evolve naturally. Subsequently, through the skilled use of the brush, Mirabasso creates textures, glazes and depth using high-quality acrylic and ultrafine oil colors. Once finished, the work is protected with a transparent, glossy varnish of the highest quality, which not only protects it from external agents but also gives the painting brightness and luminosity. Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbrian region, cradle of the pre-Renaissance era, important for those early realistic sparks that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso. A humble but reflective artist who, intelligently, combines a manner of painting that is sometimes geometric and rhythmic with the primordial expressiveness of volumes from the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow. A "delicate harmony" that in his panel works, like the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix and verticals of landscape, 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 the frame, Mirabasso brings surface memories of metaphysical memory to life.

During the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting he worked in graphic design and illustration, collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses. In the early 1990s he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, refining a personal technique on panel that will become essential to his research, tracing a path that will establish him as a professional artist. Since 1996 he has left advertising graphics 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).
