Carlo Mirabasso - Tuscan dream

TECHNIQUE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Each painting by Carlo Mirabasso, painter since 1975,
is entirely handmade, 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,
letting the work evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the skilled use of the brush,
Mirabasso creates textures, glazes and depth
using acrylic and ultra-fine oil colors.
Once completed, the work is protected with a transparent and ultra-high-quality gloss varnish,
which besides 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 early realistic sparkss
that arose from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation,
lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently,
combines a way of painting with sometimes geometric and rhythmic
aspects to that expressive primordiality of volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow.
A 'delicate harmony' that in his on-panel works,
such as threedcentury triptych altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix
and landscape verticalities, completes itself in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; charged with a subtle material symbolism
with mural meaning in which the fresco technique reappears and,
in that quietness of places, dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the frame image,
Mirabasso brings to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

BIOGRAPHY
Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959.

Between the 1980s and 1990s, besides painting,
he worked in the field of advertising graphics and illustration,
collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early 1990s he began painting his first
metaphysical compositions, refining a personal technique
on panel that would become fundamental for his research,
tracing a path that would lead him to establish himself

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,
