It is with profound sadness that we announce that the master Guido Dettoni della Grazia passed away during the night.

His passing represents a great loss for all who had the privilege of knowing him, working by his side, and sharing in his creative universe. Throughout his career, Guido Dettoni della Grazia distinguished himself not only through his talent and artistic vision, but also through his extraordinary humanity, his generosity, and his remarkable ability to inspire everyone around him.

His thought, his work, and the mark he has left on so many projects and in so many people will continue to live on in the legacy he entrusts to us.

 

We wish to share this news with all the friends, followers of his work, and collaborators who over the years have been part of his professional and human journey.

 

In the coming days, we will share information about any gatherings or spaces of remembrance that may be organized to honor his memory.

 

The funeral service will take place on Sunday, March 8, at 1:00 PM at the Sant Gervasi Funeral Home in Barcelona (Spain).

MATER LACTEA

HANDSMATTER

HANDSMATTER experiences with mothers in the breastfeeding stage together with their infants and often with the father, took place in various cities in Catalonia, Spain.

 

Gathered in groups, blindfolded, the mothers mold wax and create shapes that, as they look at them, stimulate the imagination and evocative descriptions in words that generate poems and songs to enrich the language of breastfeeding.

The Innocenti Declaration UNICEF a conceptual reference of this whole proposal.

Through these creative experiences and contact with the transcendence of maternal breastfeeding, Guido Dettoni created the iconic sculpture, MATER LACTEA.
