Surface clean

Artwork must be clean regularly to avoid irreversible damage from environmental pollution, insect frass, dust…

Stabilisation and consolidation of flaking or powdery paint layer

This can be the result of a miss-step during the creation or resulting from the environment.

Varnish

Every painting is different, each of them must be assessed to apply the appropriate level of protection and finishes.

Reduce canvas deformation

We reduce deformations.

Canvas stretching

The appropriate tension to stretch canvas is important as the canvas will move with the variation of humidity and temperature.

Infiling of missing part of the paint layer

The infill is an important step in the restoration process as during this step we will build the filler to mimic the brushstroke of the artistic and support to make our work less visible during the retouch.

Mould treatment

Mould will develop and may fragile the artwork eating away bounding substance and irreversibly staining the paint layer.

Varnish removal

An oxidised varnish (yellow) can block the visibility of the artwork and can create further damage.

Tears / Holes repairs

Accidents can happen, we are here to help to conserve your artwork for this become a memory.

Canvas reinforcement (lining)

When the support is too weak we have to reinforce the canvas for better preservation.

Stretcher replacement

We prefer to keep the original stretcher as possible. Unfortunately, inappropriate or unhealthy stretchers can create damages and further deformations.

Retouch

We use conservation grade colours to retouch that we adapt to the artwork.
