Restauration Mosaïques |
Who am I ?
Attracted from a young age to Archeology and the Arts, Art Conservation became a true passion, blending the manipulation of Historical Artefacts, manual know-how, Site Preservation and the respect for historical testimonies among many more valued aspects.
It is through this mulidisciplinary approach, in direct link with the Art pieces and in various contexts, that I practise my work.
