In the Umbrian region, cradle 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 thoughtful artist who, intelligently,
brings together a way of painting that is at times geometric and rhythmic
with that expressive primordiality of the volumes of the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel,
like the thirteenth-fourteenth-century altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix
and landscape verticalities, is completed in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; laden with a subtle material symbolism
with mural meaning in which the fresco technique resurfaces and,
in that stillness of places dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the image of the frame,
Mirabasso brings to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

BIOGRAPHY
Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959.
In 1979 he graduated from Liceo Artistico Ripetta in Rome.
Between the Eighties and Nineties, in addition to painting, he worked in advertising graphics and illustration,
collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses.
In the early Nineties he began painting his first metaphysical compositions, refining a personal pictorial technique on panel that would become fundamental to his search, tracing a path that would 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 exhibits his works in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padova,
Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain), Taipei (Taiwan).
He lives and works in Bastia Umbra, Perugia.
