The Curative Conservation

The restorator’s work is divided in two complementary periods.
Curative conservation: At this point the restorator will define the different operations needed such as resolving the adhesion problems between the painting and its support, patching on tears, lining a punctured canvas onto a new canvas, checking the stretcher bar…..
Its intervention will provide a new breath to the piece of art.
Restauration
The restorator acts directly on the painted face: cleaning off the smock and dirt, removing the old and yellowed varnish, filling the loosened paint, inpaiting the filled areas , and setting up a new protector varnish.
Giving back the painting its beauty and luminosity, the restorator offers us the satisfaction to enjoy it again.
