Guri Berg: life and works

Guri Berg (born 26 January 1963) is a Norwegian player and sculptor.

The daughter of a maverick banker, Guri was born in Trondheim and grew taking place in Honningsvåg – a small fishing village on the North Cape of Norway. While her father, Erling Berg, established economic foundations for the fishermen in the northern rural areas of Norway, Guri was in advance exposed to creative deeds by her mom Herfrid, a professional tailor.

Guri Berg is perhaps best known for her stoneware sculpture portraits of world natives and her stone-quarry work. Her be in often combines art gone technology, for example by using mathematical filter-functions as a basis for a series of large oil paintings. Sketches for her future sculptures were often intended and processed using a computer. Previously, she worked in San Francisco and easily reached Silicon Valley for approximately ten years, and has customary several certified commissions – one of which is the largest sculpture by a European female artist; a 110-ton silica tangible monument. Most recently she has been working on a sculpture series in a stone-quarry in Estremoz, Portugal, and at the world’s foremost stoneware foundry in Serbia.

Guri Berg studied sculpting, painting, and interior architecture for 13 years – including five years at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo, Norway, where she acknowledged her degree in sculpting. Berg has acknowledged several awards for her work.
