ART CARE

Art lasts when it is loved.

Before each work leaves the studio, we prepare it for its new home with an archival UV-protective fixative and careful packing. The goal is simple: to preserve the surface, the texture and the quiet presence of the piece.

Display

• Keep away from direct sunlight. Soft, indirect light is best.
• Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.

Handling

• Each work carries its own texture: layers of oil and oil pastel that may remain sensitive for months.
• The surface may invite touch, but it is best left to the imagination.
• Even the lightest contact can alter the pigment, changing what was meant to be seen.
• Handle the piece from its edges or by its frame, keeping the painted surface untouched.

Cleaning

• Dust lightly with a soft, dry natural-hair brush.
• Do not use water, cleaners, alcohol or compressed air.

Framing

• Each artwork is delivered ready to hang.
• If you choose to frame it after purchase, a floating frame or shadow gap is recommended, allowing the work to rest without direct contact.
• Avoid direct contact with the surface. No glass or acrylic should touch the artwork.

Storage

• Store upright, never stacked.
• Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
• Do not store in a sealed box or plastic wrap for long periods.

Transport

• Reuse the original packaging when possible.
• Keep the work vertical and cushioned; avoid direct pressure on the surface.

Emergency Care

If the work is damaged or exposed to moisture, keep it stable. Move it to a dry, temperate space and let it rest. Do not touch the affected area or attempt to clean or repair. Photograph the condition and contact a professional conservator. Each work holds its own resilience. Patience first, intervention second.
