How can I repair a painting myself?
Does your artwork require conservation?
It is strongly discouraged to attempt to restore a painting yourself.
An unprofessional intervention can worsen the damage, necessitating subsequent intervention by an art conservator to correct the damage, which can be costlier and more time-consuming than the initial conservation. Moreover, irreversible mistakes can compromise the integrity and value of your artwork.
For any direct intervention on a work of art, it is highly recommended to consult a professional conservator. These experts have the skills and tools necessary to assess the damage and perform precise repairs, ensuring the preservation of your painting.
However, you can contribute to the preventive conservation of your artworks by managing the ambient environment. Refer to our dedicated article for more information on preventive conservation.
Feel free to contact us or request an estimate to discuss the conservation of your painting and receive personalised advice.
