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).

CHIMERA

A creative summer 2023 exercise shared with the grand children of my brother Luca at their estate, La Selva. The thing was to discover a new animal.

To succeed, we would search for it among the images of molded shapes, with wax, listening to the fairy tale Eloine and Marguerite, ages ten and nine, they would write together.

Afterward, the images of the viewpoints of the created shapes would be transmuted into that of the new animal.
They were joined by Marguerite’s little brother, three-year-old Sebastian, and all three, listening to it, model blindfolded the wax with no intention of representing anything, but letting themselves go.
The new animal received the name of CHIMERA.
