Contemporary and modern art present conservation challenges that motivate and fascinate me. During the conservation process I seek to work in collaboration with artists, art historians, art handlers and above all, with you. By establishing your needs at the beginning of the exchange, it is possible to formulate suitable, ethical and realistic preservation proposals.
I believe that preventive conservation is at the heart of the preservation of a work. It requires a suitable environment, before and after treatment, to ensure its longevity. Temperature, relative humidity, light and pollutants are all factors that can harm the materials that make up an object.
The better the understanding of the materials and their environment, the better the treatment!
