To create the vivid reds and blues of the Mangiafuoco cocktail tables by design duo Zanellato/Bortotto, Moroso uses a special technique that transforms vitreous powders on copper into Technicolor enamel when fired at extreme temperatures.

Often drawing from the natural landscape for his subject matter, Belgian artist Harold Ancart utilized oil stick and pencil to render a vast desertlike scene in Untitled (2021).
