Carlo Mirabasso lives in the Umbrian region, cradle of the pre-Renaissance era, which was important for the first realistic sparks inspired by nature and for those empirical forms of spatial representation. A modest yet reflective artist, he skillfully brings together a style of painting marked by geometric, rhythmic elements with the primal expressiveness of the volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the seed of all modern art that followed. A “delicate harmony” that, in his works on panel—like fourteenth-century altarpieces—emerges between pre-Cubist studies and vertical landscapes, coming to completion in his almost marble-like painting techniques. His work is imbued with subtle material symbolism and a mural-like quality, in which the fresco technique resurfaces; and, in the tranquil places dear to De Chirico, where space and time come to a standstill in the image of the frame, Mirabasso brings sensations of metaphysical memory to the surface.

BIOGRAPHY
Carlo Mirabasso was born in Tivoli in 1959. In 1979, he graduated from the Ripetta Art High School in Rome. During the 1980s and 1990s, alongside painting, he worked in advertising graphics and illustration, collaborating with numerous advertising agencies and publishing houses. In the early 1990s, he began painting his first metaphysical compositions and developed a personal painting technique on panel that would become fundamental to his artistic research, setting him on a path that led to recognition as a professional artist. In 1996, he left advertising graphics behind and devoted himself exclusively to painting. He has taken part in numerous exhibitions and shown his works in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Teramo, Potenza, Padua, Auckland (New Zealand), Marbella (Spain) and Taipei (Taiwan). He lives and works in Bastia Umbra, Perugia.

TECHNIQUE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE ARTWORK
Every painting by Carlo Mirabasso, a professional artist who has devoted himself exclusively to painting since the 1990s, is made entirely by hand, without the use of prints, reproductions or other photomechanical techniques. The artist begins with a blank, textured support—usually a panel or canvas—that he has prepared himself, then sketches the composition in pencil, allowing the work to develop naturally. Next, through his skillful use of the brush, Mirabasso creates the textures, glazes and depth characteristic of his metaphysical painting, using extra-fine acrylic and oil paints. Once complete, the work is protected with a top-quality clear varnish, which not only shields it from external elements but also gives the painting luminosity and brilliance. Each work is one of a kind and unrepeatable.
