Mirabasso - Verso casa

TECHNIQUE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Each painting by Carlo Mirabasso, a 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 board), 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 ultra-fine oils.
Once completed, the work is protected with a transparent, high-quality glossy varnish, which, in addition to protecting it from external agents, gives the painting luminosity and brilliance.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prerenaissance era, important for those first realistic sparks that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet thoughtful artist who, intelligently, combines a way of painting that is sometimes geometric and rhythmic with that expressively primordial sense of volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel, as in the three-century altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix and landscape verticalities, 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 frame image, Mirabasso brings surface sensations of metaphysical memory to the fore.

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 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 painting technique on panel that will become fundamental for his research, outlining a path that will 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 his works have been shown in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padua, Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain), Taipei (Taiwan).
