The artist wanted to also explore the beauty of the polychrome with the neriage technique, high-temperature cooking, triggers almost volcanically some interesting chemical processes, so as to enhance both form and color; after cooking it seems that everything has been formed naturally occurs naturally as the birth of a tree or a flower.

Ceramics designed as polychrome stoneware with the neriage technique offers incredible possibilities inventive: in fact, with this technique are born with a natural polychrome painted sculptures, since the steps which are natural lands.

Maria Beatrice Coppi was immersed in this great adventure of poetic forms and colors creating works of great aesthetic value and technical.
