Carlo Mirabasso - Notte serena

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 panel), 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 acrylic and ultra-fine oil paints.
Once finished, the work is protected with a high-quality transparent, glossy varnish, which, in addition to protecting it from external agents, lends luminosity and brilliance to the painting.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece.

***
In the Umbrian region, hearth of the pre-Renaissance era,
important for those early realistic sparks that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently, combines a method of painting that is at times geometric and rhythmic with the primordial expressive immediacy of volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow.
A “delicate harmony” that in his works on panel, like the three‑teenth century altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix and landscape verticalities, completes his painterly 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 image of the frame, Mirabasso brings surface memories of metaphysical memory to the surface.
