«The restoration of a work of art is not only the conservation of its matter, but also the conservation of its soul.» Cesare Brandi
To define Conservation and Restoration services, it is necessary to refer to the 1987 Venice Charter, which establishes the definitions.
My degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets allows me to carry out scientific and meticulous interventions, respecting the original work and following established criteria.
Thanks to my training in imagery and specializing in sculpture restoration, I have the ability to more specifically understand the deterioration of an image and be able to address the source to stop it and properly repair the damage caused. And, not only to remove and recover the object in question, but also to ensure its proper subsequent conservation to prevent further deterioration.
As an imagery maker, restorer, Christian, and member of a religious brotherhood, I am aware that altarpieces and sculptural ensembles associated with these or religious spaces have an added intangible value: religious sentiment. Therefore, any intervention on a cultural asset within this environment must take into account and respect this characteristic.
I am Álvaro Frías, a religious image maker and restorer, trained in the workshop of Antonio José Martínez Rodríguez. My work focuses on religious sculpture and the restoration of cultural assets, especially wood sculpture. My works combine naturalism with a profound theological and symbolic meaning.
