Daniela Madeleine Guggisberg

1963, Swiss

Daniela Madeleine Guggisberg is a Swiss sculptor, born in Zurich, who since 1994 has found the hills of Alta Langa the ideal place to conduct her artistic research. Her work is a fundamental component of her life, which is based on caring for nature and meditation.

The inspiration for the creation of his works is taken from the natural elements and the search for inner balance. With his sculptures, he searches for the deepest essence of matter through the synthesis of form, balancing emptiness with volume, respecting and enhancing the properties of materials with perfect polishing and with the enhancement of the natural surface.

In Guggisberg and Aletti's work, the need for personal vision and the stone's conflicting need to maintain its value, its nature, are perfectly reconciled.

However, this reconciliation does not lead to the static resolution of a climax or an end but to a harmony of opposing forces held in suspension. The reconciliation of opposing forces in Guggisberg and Aletti’s sculptures is made up of dynamic balance and perfectly counterbalanced tensions between harmonious forms and heavy materials. Strong tensions are produced between emptiness and volume, between original stone and perfect polish. The final impression, however, is that of a reconciliation of opposites, a perfect balance.

It can be said that there is no absolute, static meaning in these sculptures; the meaning may lie in the emotional and intellectual change that contemplating them operates within us.

Daniela Madeleine Guggisberg and Daniele Aletti’s works ask us to be absorbed, to be recreated in our memory, immediately stimulating us to give them an interpretation.
