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).

DIGGING ACTIONS

Guido Dettoni, experiences and proposes the digging as a sculptural practice connecting with the earth.

Digging, in a chosen place, into the soil.
  

He kneels to bend the body forward to penetrate with his hands into the soil made up of earth. He lets the hands discover in it his own visions and memories, or what is already there: the known or unknown but only sensed, memory of the place itself.
  

The earth shape is hardened or wrapped with bandages to be conserved or to become the original model of a mold for casting.
