Uber Coppelli is a figurative painter from Modena with a veristic orientation and influences of magical realism.
His works feature recurring sacred subjects, created for several churches in his area, to which he was deeply attached.
Coppelli also approaches these subjects with a magical, or perhaps we might say fairy-tale, gaze, as appears in this Nativity Scene, which could easily be presented to children due to the simple yet realistic connotations of the figures and the vivid colors.
The work is presented in a frame.
