Conservation with a light touch

Tobacco, dust, soot, yellowed varnish, water, humidity fluctuations, moving, incorrect hanging, etc. play a part in damaging paintings. Conservation and restoration can in most cases repair the damage. Also when the damage includes tears, vandalism or flaking color, it is usually possible to bring the painting back to its original appearance.

In order to respect the original painting, only the absolutely necessary treatment of each individual problem is carried out. The painting's age, colors, structure and materials are taken into consideration. Only scientifically tested materials are used during the restoration. To be sure of the best possible results, the studio uses the most modern equipment in the field of conservation.
