Not only does the restorer need to preserve the quality and character of the original painting, the new one should be a better, brighter version which hides old flaws and defects. It is a valuable process which is essential to preserve the richness of our history and heritage.

Why restoration is necessary

Most of the olden paintings have survived a lot of abusive conditions. Factors like environmental pollution, floods, volcanic eruptions; salt water abrasion and many more have deteriorated paintings to a great extent. As a result many of the precious works of art have become dull, lifeless and lost their original character. Many times, the characters have faded or been scratched away, the background tarnished and the overall art been damaged a great deal.
