About The Artist

Carlo Mirabasso

A merging of modern, stylised forms with classical/medieval references - resulting in uniquely Italian ceramics and artworks

La Pearla

When chosing a title for this exhibition the words La Pearla seemed perfect. Not only were our friends from Autore Pearls in Australia unveiling a fabulous collection of gems and south sea pearls during the first few days of the exhibition, many of the paintings themselves were to feature pearls.

The imagination took flight and lusterous works of art were envisioned on the gallery walls. As often happens, when we are fortunate, dreams are embraced and given life by others, in this case the wonderfully talented artists featured in this exhibition.
