***
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 reflective artist who, intelligently,
blends a sometimes geometric and rhythmic way of painting
with that expressive primordiality of volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel works,
like the thirteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist origin
and landscape verticalities, completes itself in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; charged with a subtle matter symbolism
with mural significance 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 to memory of metaphysical sensations.

BIOGRAPHY
Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959.
In 1979 he graduated from the Liceo Artistico Ripetta in Rome.
During the Eighties and Nineties, besides painting,
he worked in the field of graphic advertising and illustration,
collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early Nineties he began painting his first metaphysical compositions,
perfecting a personal technique on board 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 left graphic design
advertising and devoted himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions and presents his works
in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padua,
Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain), Taipei (Taiwan).
He lives and works in Bastia Umbra, Perugia.
