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, Carlo Mirabasso lives.
A humble yet reflective artist who, intelligently,
couples a painting method that is at times geometric and rhythmic
with that primordial expressive sense of volumes from the medieval world,
perhaps the embryo of all modern art to follow.
A "delicate harmony" which in his works on panel,
like the 14th-century altarpieces, between studies of a pre-Cubist matrix
and vertical landscape sensibilities, completes itself in his painting techniques,
almost marble-like; charged with a subtle material symbolism
with a mural meaning in which the fresco technique resurfaces and,
in the tranquility of places dear to De Chirico,
where space and time stop in the image of the frame,
Mirabasso returns 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.
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, perfecting a personal painting technique
on panel that would become fundamental to his research,
laying out a path that would lead him to establish himself
as a professional artist. Since 1996 he has left advertising graphics
and devoted himself exclusively to painting.
He has participated in numerous exhibitions, displaying 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.

TECHNIQUE and UNIQUENESS OF THE WORK:
Every painting by Carlo Mirabasso, a painter since 1975,
is created entirely by hand, excluding the use of prints,
reproductions, or other photomechanical techniques.
The artist starts with a white and textured support (canvas or panel),
then sketches the composition in pencil, letting the work evolve naturally.
Subsequently, through a skilled use of the brush,
Mirabasso creates textures, glazes, and depth
using acrylics and ultra-fine oils.
Once finished, the work is protected with a transparent, high-quality glossy varnish,
which not only shields it from external agents,
but also gives the painting brightness and luminosity.
Each work is a unique and unrepeatable piece."
