Mirabasso - Tuscan dream

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

***
In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prerenaissance era, important for those early realistic sparkles that arose 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 with geometric and rhythmic elements to that expressive primordiality of the volumes of the medieval world, perhaps an embryo of all modern art to follow.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel, like the thirteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix and vertical landscapes, 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 pause in the image frame, Mirabasso brings to the surface memories of a metaphysical sense.

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, in addition to painting, he worked in advertising graphics and illustration, collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
At the beginning of the 1990s he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, perfecting a personal technique on panel that would become fundamental to his research, outlining a path that would lead him to establish himself as a professional artist. Since 1996 he has abandoned 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).
He lives and works in Bastia Umbra, Perugia.
