Painting restoration
in Barcelona by Alex Víctor Ihnatenko (AVI) — restorer and member of the CRAC (Association of Conservators-Restorers of Catalonia)
Hello, I'm Alex, a professional restorer in Barcelona specializing in paintings, stained glass, and antique frescoes.
I've worked on projects of significant historical value, such as the restoration of works by Francesc Soler Rovirosa at the Herboristería del Rei and the portrait of the founder of the Rieusset factory in Barcelona.
Each restoration is carried out using professional conservation techniques, ensuring a lasting result that is faithful to the work's authenticity, in accordance with European ECCO standards.
Conservation
As a professional restorer in Barcelona, I can help you preserve your art and restore it to its original appearance. Almost any painting sooner or later requires conservation, and for this purpose, a special glue is used that fills the voids, restores the plasticity of the paint layer, and holds together the damaged areas
Deep cleaning and conservation
In my restoration workshop in Barcelona, I offer services for deep cleaning and conservation of paintings. With my experience and advanced techniques, I can remove years of dust and dirt accumulation and preserve the long-term quality of the artwork. If your painting requires additional restoration, I can also assist you with that.
Retouch
Some areas of the painting are subject to retouching, which allows the painting to return to its neat appearance. Retouching is done using a technique that is reversible if necessary and does not harm the originality of the work of art. An important point in the process of painting restoration is the selection of pigments that will not change their tone and shade over time.
Complete restoration
A complete restoration of a painting has a specific sequential plan of action that must be diligently carried out by the restorer to achieve the result. The important point is that some of these actions are not obvious and are hidden from the eyes of the owner of the painting, so I always make a photo report of the restoration process so that my clients can be sure that no stage was skipped.

Josep Bertran Vall
“Trabajar con Alex transmite mucha tranquilidad. Siempre estuvo disponible y me mantuvo informado durante toda la restauración, enviándome fotos y vídeos y explicándome cada intervención. En todo momento sabía qué se estaba haciendo con el cuadro y por qué. El proceso fue completamente transparente."
Rieusset S.A
“Confiamos a Alex la restauración del retrato del fundador de Rieusset, una obra especialmente importante para nuestra historia. El cuadro presentaba un problema poco habitual y varios profesionales habían preferido no intervenir. Alex estudió el caso, encontró una solución segura y llevó a cabo la restauración con excelente resultado.”
Miquel Casademunt Vallés
"Confié a Alex la restauración de varias pinturas de mi colección, que hoy pueden verse en la Herboristeria del Rei de Barcelona. Valoro especialmente el cuidado con el que trabaja, la calidad de los materiales y su respeto por la historia de cada obra. Siempre le confío mis cuadros con total tranquilidad."
Mara Álvarez González
“Para el 50.º aniversario de boda de mis padres quise regalarles una pintura de su antigua casa, pero estaba muy deteriorada. Alex hizo un hueco en su agenda, la restauró a tiempo y consiguió salvar tanto el cuadro como la sorpresa. ¡Fue un regalo inolvidable!”
