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).

2020 – Unexpected arising of the shape within my hands, as if it wanted to appear by itself in a state of mental emptiness, beyond any intention.
Opening the eyes, the Crucifix was actually completed; nothing remained to be done but minimal refining.
The vision, in the sequence of creation of the works BETHLEHEM’S CROSS, MARIA, TAU, made me realize that this Crucifix was already present in them, therefore it could only arise in my hands, in the end by itself, unexpectedly.

Iconic, according to the MOMA’s Glossary of Art Terms:

having the character of an icon, i.e., an important and enduring symbol, an object of great attention and devotion
