Guri Berg is perhaps best known for her stoneware sculpture portraits of world natives and her stone-quarry work. A common trait of her work is to combine art with technology. Foreign instance, she has been using mathematical filter-functions as a basis for a series of large oil paintings, and also the sketches of her later sculpture work have often been designed and processed with the aid of a computer.

Previously, she worked in San Francisco and nearby Silicon Valley for almost ten years, and has received several official commissions – one of which is the largest sculpture by a European female artist.

A 110-ton silica concrete 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 design for 13 years – the last five of which at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo, Norway, where she received her degree in sculpting.

Achievements
