About Us
When conserving an artwork, our goal is to preserve the artist’s original intent by using non-invasive and reversible techniques and utilizing professional grade materials, thus forming our treatment philosophy: less is more.
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
- Pablo Picasso -
