Mirabasso - Borgo metafisico

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 photomechanical techniques.
The artist starts from a white and tactile support (canvas or panel),
then traces the composition of the image in pencil, allowing the work to evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the skilled use of the brush,
Mirabasso creates textures, glazes, and depth
using acrylic and ultrafine oil paints.
Once finished, the work is protected with a transparent, glossy, high-quality varnish,
which besides protecting it from external agents,
gives the painting luminosity and brilliance.
Each work is a unique, unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prereinassance era,
important for those early realistic glimmers
that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms
of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently,
matches a manner of painting that is partly geometric and rhythmic
with that primordial expressiveness 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 14th-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix
and vertical landscapes, finds completion 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 returns to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

Between the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting,
he worked in the field of 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,

and dedicated himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions, and shows his works
in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padua,
