Mirabasso - Meditazione e riflessione

TECHNIQUE and UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Each painting by Carlo Mirabasso, painter since 1975, is created entirely by hand, excluding the use of prints, reproductions or other photo-mechanical techniques.
The artist starts from a white and tactile support (canvas or panel), then traces the image composition with pencil, letting the work evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the skilful use of the brush, Mirabasso creates textures, glazes and depth using ultrafine acrylic and oil colors.
Once finished, the work is protected with a transparent and glossy varnish of the highest quality, which besides protecting it from external agents, gives the painting luminosity and shine.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbrian region, homeland of the pre-Renaissance era, important for those first realistic sparkles that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble but reflective artist who, intelligently, couples a painting method with geometric and rhythmic traits to the primordial expressiveness of volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel works, like the thirteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix and verticality of landscapes, is completed 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 to the surface memories of metaphysical memory.
