In the Umbrian region, cradle of the prerenaissance era,
important for those early realistic sparks
that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms
of spatial representation, Carlo Mirabasso lives.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently,
joins a painterly approach that is at times geometric and rhythmic
to that expressive primordiality of the world’s volumes of the medieval era,
sometimes the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his works on panel,
like the three‑hundred-year‑old altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix
and pastoral verticalities, completes itself in his painting techniques,
almost marbled; charged with a subtle materic symbolism
with a mural meaning in which the fresco technique resurfaces, and
in that tranquility of places, dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the image of a frame,
Mirabasso brings back to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.

advertising graphics and illustration

metaphysical compositions, perfected a personal painting technique
on panel that would become fundamental for his research,

and devoted himself exclusively to painting.

TECHNIQUE and UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Each painting by Carlo Mirabasso, painter since 1975,
is created entirely by hand, excluding the use of prints,
reproductions or other photomechanical techniques.
The artist starts from a white and textured support (canvas or panel),
then sketches the composition in pencil,
allowing the work to evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through the skillful 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 high-quality glossy varnish,
which not only protects it from external agents,
but also gives the painting luminosity and brilliance.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece.
