Mirabasso - Sospensione metafisica

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 and textured support (canvas or board), then traces the image composition with pencil, letting the work evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the skillful use of the brush, Mirabasso creates textures, glazes and depth using extra-fine acrylic and oil colors.
Once finished, the work is protected with a transparent and glossy varnish of the highest quality, which not only protects it from external agents, but also lends luminosity and brilliance to the painting.
Each work is a unique piece and unrepeatable.

***
In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prerenaissance era, important for those early realistic sparkles that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble but reflective artist who, intelligently, blends a way of painting that is sometimes geometric and rhythmic with that expressive primordiality of volumes of the medieval world, perhaps an embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel, like the trecento altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix and verticality of 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 stop in the frame image, Mirabasso brings back to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

BIOGRAPHY
Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959.
In 1979 he graduated from the Liceo Artistico Ripetta in Rome.
During the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting, he worked in the field of graphic design and illustration, collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early 1990s he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, perfecting a personal technique on panel that would become fundamental for his research, outlining a path that would lead him to establish himself as a professional artist. Since 1996 he has abandoned graphic design and dedicated 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).
