The conservation of art work and culturally
valuable objects means maintaining, preserving and securing them for future generations.
In principal our cultural heritage can only then bear honest witness, if it has been cared for
based on scientific and ethical standards. These standards can only be achieved by trained
specialists able to scientifically and technically meet this responsibility. They are a prerequisite
for the follow-up restoration, which deals with the aesthetics of art work. The authenticity of
the art work should, as far as possible, be restored and maintained by means of a minimally
invasive treatment, true to the maxim: "as little as possible and a much as necessary".
Subtlety and a feeling for such work is a basic requirement.
Love and enchantment for all art work, in all its variety, is at the core of my work.
