Mirabasso - Promenade

TECHNIQUE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Each painting by Carlo Mirabasso, painter since 1975,
is made entirely by hand, excluding the use of prints,
reproductions or other photomechanical techniques.
The artist starts from a white and textured support (canvas or panel),
then traces the image composition with pencil, letting the work evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the wise use of the brush,
Mirabasso creates textures, glazes and depth
using acrylic colors and ultra-fine oils.
Once finished, the work is protected with a transparent and high-quality glossy varnish,
which, in addition to protecting it from external agents,
bestows luminosity and brilliance to the painting.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbria region, cradle of the prerenaissance era,
important for those early realistic sparkings
that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms
of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently,
pairs a way of painting that is at times geometric and rhythmic
with that primordial expressive spontaneity of volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps an embryo of all modern art to follow.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel,
such as the thirteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix
and landscape verticality, completes itself in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; charged with a subtle material symbolism
with mural meaning in which the fresco technique reappears and,
in that quietness of places, dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the image of the frame,
Mirabasso brings to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

Between the eighties and nineties, in addition to painting,
he worked in advertising graphics 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 will become fundamental for his research,
laying out a path that will lead him to establish himself as a professional artist.
