Deborah Gos
Art restorer
Cerlier

« The restoration of a work of art is a dialogue with the past. »

In 2010, after graduating from high school, Deborah Gos began studying painting conservation and restoration at the Geneva Museum of Art and History. She then trained at the Bern University of the Arts, completed various internships in Vienna and an exchange at the National Heritage Institute in Paris. At the end of her training, she worked for various workshops before setting up her own business in 2022.

« The restoration of a work must preserve its history while allowing future generations to discover it in an authentic way. »

With her extensive expertise, Deborah Gos cares for works of art worn by the passage of time by preserving their integrity and applying ethical restoration techniques. To carry out the appropriate interventions, she investigates and documents the materials and history of each piece and thus restores their visual and functional coherence.
