Mirabasso - Le tre verità

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, tactile support (canvas or panel), then traces the image composition with pencil, letting the work evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the skilled use of the brush, Mirabasso creates textures, glazes and depth using acrylics and ultrafine oils.
Once finished, the work is protected with a high-quality, transparent, glossy varnish, which not only shields it from external agents but also lends luminosity and brilliance to the painting.
Each work is a unique, unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prerenaissance era, important for those early realistic sparks that arose from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently, blends a painting approach that is sometimes geometric and rhythmic with that expressively primordial typology of volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A “delicate harmony” that in his works on panel, like the thirteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist origins and vertical landscapes, completes itself in his painting techniques, almost marble-like; charged with 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 frame image, Mirabasso returns to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.
