Paintings can be considered silent patients. They cannot complain when something is wrong, and symptoms are often observed only when it is too late. This is why regular inspections are vital, even for artworks that appear to be in pristine condition.
Every artwork is unique and deserves tailored advice. As a warranted conservator with over 20 years of experience, I can verify whether your collection is in good condition or if your paintings require treatment. It is equally important to check whether your artworks are being displayed and stored correctly, and to advise on necessary precautions for handling and transporting them.
You can play an active role in saving our shared treasures from permanent damage and rapid deterioration. Whether you want to better protect your artworks, require professional treatment, or are simply eager to learn more about conservation, get in touch today.
