Services
I offer a wide range of painting conservation and restoration services, with a focus on minimal intervention and reversibility.
For complex procedures such as scientific analyses, lining and panel work, I partner with experienced subcontractors whom I trust.
My approach is informed by ethical codes of professional associations, of which I am a member.
Documentation
Recording the Artwork's Story
When I undertake a restoration project, the first step is thorough documentation. This involves meticulously recording every detail of the artwork's history. I create a comprehensive record that includes the painting's origin, past restoration attempts, and previous conditions. This documentation is like the artwork's diary, helping me and future conservators understand its journey over time. It consists of written reports, high-resolution photographs, and any relevant historical research, all contributing to a deeper understanding of the artwork's past.
Condition Assessment
Evaluating the Artwork's Current State
To understand the artwork's current condition, I conduct a thorough assessment. I meticulously examine its surface, structure, and support, while also considering the impact of environmental factors like humidity and light exposure. This evaluation helps me create a comprehensive picture of the artwork's present state, serving as the basis for developing a tailored restoration plan. By assessing its condition, I gain insight into the scope of work needed to address any issues effectively.
Treatment
Preservation and Restoration in Action
The treatment phase is where I roll up my sleeves and get to work. It's all about preserving and restoring the artwork. Depending on the artwork's specific needs, treatment may involve various interventions, such as carefully cleaning to remove dirt and discolored varnish, making structural repairs to mend tears or deformations, in-painting to restore lost or damaged areas, and applying surface varnish for protection and enhancement. The methods I choose are based on the documentation, analysis, and condition assessment, ensuring that the restoration adheres to the highest conservation standards while revitalizing the artwork's beauty and durability.
Analysis
Discovering the Artwork's Secrets
The analysis is where I uncover the hidden secrets of the artwork. I examine it in detail using advanced tools and techniques. Through scientific methods, I investigate the painting's materials, pigments, and the techniques used by the original artist. This careful analysis often reveals hidden details, alterations, or damages that might not be visible to the naked eye. This process guides me in making informed decisions about how to best approach the restoration, preserving the artwork's authenticity and historical significance.
