An experienced restorer from Milan, Italy.
Over 30 years of art conservation
Italian art conservator and restorer Michaela Anselmini trained and began her professional career in Milan in 1993. With over 30 years of professional experience, she has worked with galleries, collectors, institutions, and artists across Europe before bringing her expertise to Indonesia.
Her practice is based on rigorous technical knowledge, refined craftsmanship, and deep respect for the integrity and history of each artwork.
Her conservation and restoration services include technical examination and digital documentation, ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) imaging, antifungal treatments, strip-lining and structural stabilization of paintings, as well as carefully tailored cleaning treatments using aqueous, enzymatic, and solvent-based systems. Her practice also encompasses traditional water gilding and the conservation and restoration of gilded, silvered, and copper surfaces.
Michaela combines traditional conservation craftsmanship with the latest developments in conservation science and technology, incorporating nanomaterials and other advanced conservation-grade materials where appropriate.
Every treatment is individually designed, with materials and methods carefully selected according to the artwork’s condition, technique, and specific requirements, always with the aim of preserving its aesthetic qualities, material integrity, and historical character.
