In the Umbrian region, cradle of the pre-Renaissance 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,
brings together a way of painting that is at times geometric and rhythmic
with that primordial expressive quality of the volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel works,
like thirteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix
and landscape verticalities, is completed in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; rich in a subtle material symbolism
with mural significance in which the fresco technique reappears and,
in that calmness 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.
In 1979 he graduated from the Liceo Artistico Ripetta in Rome.
During the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to painting,
he worked in 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, refining a personal painting technique
on panel that would become fundamental to his research,
outlining a path that would lead him to establish himself
as a professional artist. Since 1996 he has abandoned advertising graphics
and dedicated himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions and shows his works
in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padova,
Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain), Taipei (Taiwan).
