Scientific diagnostics for
validation conservation restoration of works of art

A step into the future where science meets art

Imaging and analytical diagnostics by use of highly technological instruments.
DRiART offers imaging and analytical diagnostics of the highest quality and has a strong inclination towards scientific research and development.
We are ready to experiment and test new methods of investigation should a work of art need an innovative approach.

KNOWLEDGE AND RESEARCH

We are ready to explore matters as yet unknown in the world of cultural heritage science. In collaboration with public and private institutions, we conduct and participate in all kinds of research projects about the cultural heritage in order to gain knowledge about materials, techniques, and the states of preservation.

AUTHENTICATION AND CERTIFICATION

We are familiar with the most innovative scientific analyses in order to authenticate a cultural asset and certify its value; from the dating of the materials, and studying the compatibility of the technique used, to the knowledge about its geographic origins.

WARRANTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

From us, auction houses, art dealers and collectors get solid results and confidentiality. Based on the objectivity of science we provide services, which guarantee maximum credibility for sales, purchases, and valuations.

WHO WE ARE AIMED AT

Scientific support concerning the PRESERVATION, DIGITAL CATALOGUING, INTERACTIVE EXHIBITIONS and RESEARCH PROJECTS.

Scientific partnership in order to provide support and to guarantee the required MAINTENANCE, STORAGE, MONITORING and RESTORATION SERVICES for a work of art.

Scientific analyses aim to GUARANTEE and CERTIFY works of art and give CREDIBILITY and RELIABILITY to the sales and valuation process.

Scientific advice tailored to the creation of IDEAL LOCATIONS FOR THE PRESERVATION and ENHANCEMENT of artwork, and the certification of its UNIQUENESS.

Objective scientific responses to issues regarding the CERTIFICATION, ATTRIBUTION, DATING and ASSISTANCE CONCERNING THE SALE / PURCHASE of a work of art.

WORK METHOD

MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING DIAGNOSTICS

Provides easy-to-understand images, which show the interaction of materials
in a cultural asset by using different wavelengths, and provide information
on the state of preservation, historical events of a work of art,
and the technique used.

ANALYTICAL DIAGNOSTICS

Involves the microscopic optical, atomic, and molecular study of an artwork,
either directly on its surface or on collected micro-samples;
provides information on the technique used, the overall state of preservation,
composition of materials, their state of preservation, production method, and dating.
