Best restorer in the world!…read more If you have art made of porcelain, alabaster, marble, terra cotta, colored glass etc., that needs restoration, you must see "Dinka". She is an artist whose work combines sheer genius with intense passion. Recently, she restored my italian alabaster lady reclining on a bronze bed with elephant posts. Sunlight now flows throw her body as it most surely did 100 years ago. If you love your art and it needs restoration, just go to Dinka's studio.

i inherited a beautiful 1950's painting. simple, yet avant garde and modernist composition. i…read moredon't know what type of paper this was painted on... other than very thin, and very brittle! it could have been because of the age of the piece, maybe prior poor storage -- i don't know. but if you so much as touched the paper it would literally crack and crumble. now... i didn't touch the paper! i know my dog didn't bang into it either because it was up on the wall! but one weekend after a few guests i noticed oh my god there is a hole in the painting! there is a hole in the painting! it was not a big hole, about the size of a quarter, but it was still very noticeable and as i gawked at it going oh my god, and as i tried to press the tear a little bit back together, the paper would just crumble more. so i thought to myself again, oh my god there is a hole in my painting! my ex used to collect art. he's crazy but he had good taste. i remembered he only brought his pieces to a restorer in beverly hills - paintings, sculptures. sometimes metal pieces. i dug out our old credit card records scouring my mind, "what was the name of the place... what was the name of the place." and i found it. amphora. whew! i made an appointment with dinka. very carefully loaded the painting in my car. i had a picture of what it looked like before the hole (insurance!... ). she studied it carefully. i'm wondering what is she thinking, hmm, what can she do. and she simply said quite definitively and with a nice smile, yes she can fix it. i knew from items my ex had fixed that she had done an excellent job. but those were hard-ish things - scultpures, some porcelain, some metal objects etc. i was worried about this painting because seriously the paper was so flaky and thin. almost like filo dough / pastry! but dinka said yes, she could fix it. there was artwork all around the studio, stuff being repaired, including some picasso bowl. she showed me the before and after of an oil painting she had restored. the glaze had cracked, there was smoke damage all over, but she cleaned and fixed it. i could see from what she was working on, she knew very well what she was doing and how to do it. and i had enough knowledge of art history (thanks, art history 101, columbia u!)to know, she knew what she was talking about. so... flash foward to three weeks later. i get a call my painting is ready. i head down, take a look... and wow. simply cannot believe it. i'm actually looking at the painting again for where the hole was. i knew it used to be on the lower left of the painting but now as i look for it, i simply cannot see the hole - or any trace of it. there was red paint in the original area where the hole had been made, the relief / texture of the original paint itself creating part of the imagery (like van gogh used to do). anyway as i am checking the repair i see that first off, the colors have been matched PRECISELY. whatever 60 year old paint looks like, hsa been recreated here PRECISELY. and then i am looking at the canvas / paper. which again has been matched and patched to a T. i don't know how this was done. did she have 60 year old paper that matched?!!! what i do know is, the restoration was quite flawless. i have quite a good eye for detail. i can tell usually tell when something's had a touchup or a fix. whether on a painting... or on a face haha... but nope - absolutely no trace of any work here. it's as if the painting was in it's original and beautiful state and that nothing had ever gone wrong with it. the work was impeccable. so, my painting is back to it's good old self. there is no trace of a tear or repair. price was extremely reasonable. dinka was extremely nice to work with as well. all of which means i'm very happy here. will not be happy if someone else makes a hole in my painting (!). but at least i will know where to bring it if they do....

Melinda's art restoration is thorough and detail oriented. I would absolutely recommend her…read moreservices to anyone else looking to have art restored. My grandma is no longer with us and had a very precious painting that traveled with her and her family from Hong Kong, to Beijing, and finally to her last home in LA. Unfortunately while we were transporting it to my house last year, we were not very careful and ripped the canvas in three places. It is a very very old painting and holds a lot of sentimental value, so of course we were devastated. I contacted Melinda and she gave me an estimate - I dropped the painting off and she explained all of the possible ways she could fix it. We chose the patch method for the rips, as I didn't want to lose the texture of the paint on the trees by relining the whole canvas. The price was very affordable, and she let us know it was done in about two weeks. In addition to fixing the three rips (we couldn't even tell where she applied the fixes!) she also stretched the painting and waxed the frame for us. We are so so pleased to have my grandma's beautiful painting restored and in our home once again. Thank you so much Melinda for the restoration!!

Subject: Response to Your False Statements & Continued Demand for Compensation for Damage to My…read moreJohn Leslie Breck Painting Mr. Haskins, I am writing in direct response to your recent false statements regarding the severe damage caused to my John Leslie Breck (1860-1899) painting by your conservator, Virginia Pannizzon, in February 2022 at Fine Art Conservation Laboratories (FACL). Your attempt to deflect responsibility and dismiss my well-documented concerns as "false authentication" is both unprofessional and demonstrably untrue. First and foremost, neither you, Virginia Pannizzon, nor anyone at FACL are recognized experts on John Leslie Breck or his works. You are in no position to declare my painting or its signature "fake," particularly when Bonhams Los Angeles--one of the most reputable auction houses--had already placed an initial auction estimate on my painting before it was brought to your facility. Bonhams' willingness to assign an estimate indicates that they considered the painting to be authentic. However, due to the irreversible damage inflicted upon my painting by your conservator, Bonhams and other auction houses will now likely refuse to list the work. Furthermore, you state that my painting was "not damaged at all," yet I have photographic before and after proof documenting the drastic alterations made to the painting under Virginia Pannizzon's care. These include: 1. Significant paint loss on the right side of the painting, particularly in the dark tree canopy and vegetation, which was stripped away due to Virginia's careless, heavy-handed varnish removal process. 2. Destruction of the artist's original signature and date, which were nearly obliterated. The crude and unethical attempt to repaint the signature is inaccurate in both form and color, making the damage even more apparent. 3. A condition report from Virginia herself, in which she acknowledges that damage occurred under her care. I have this document in my possession, further proving that you are knowingly providing false information in your statements. Despite the overwhelming evidence of your facility's negligence, you continue to evade responsibility and even go so far as to call me delusional. This is not only insulting but highlights your complete lack of professionalism, accountability and contempt for your client for calling out your very poor business practices. It is disgraceful that your company refuses to disclose its insurance provider, forcing me to take legal action to obtain this information. Your employee, Gina, has outright stated that I must hire a lawyer to determine your insurance carrier, further demonstrating FACL's hubris and refusal to be held accountable for its reckless art conservation practices. Given the extensive evidence I have provided, I once again demand full financial compensation for the irreversible damage caused to my painting. If you continue to deny responsibility, I will escalate this matter through legal channels, insurance claims, and more public awareness, ensuring that your unethical business practices are exposed. I expect a formal written response addressing this matter by March 21, 2025. Failure to do so will confirm your unwillingness to engage in a professional resolution, and I will pursue all necessary legal actions against Fine Art Conservation Laboratories, Inc.

All of our property has been in storage since we quickly vacated, and we do not know what was impacted by the water intrusion and mold, or what needs to be cleaned, restored, or destroyed. It is arguably the most stressful situation I have ever experienced. We have been forced to deal many vendors during this process, most of which looked for the easiest way to get the job done, cutting corners and providing horrible customer service. This was not the case with Katya. We reached out to Katya to help restore an original painting that was on a wall impacted by water and mold. She is a breath of fresh air. Her professionalism, passion for art, thoroughness and detailed process in restoring an important chapter in my life, is deeply appreciated! For all of you art lovers, history buffs and those who love the emotions of art, if you need any of your important pieces of your collection cleaned or restored, I highly recommend Katya! Not only was Katya amazing at bringing my painting back to its original beauty, she has an amazing character and is a true pleasure to work with. Her process was seamless, she explained everything in detail, and delivered everything she promised. Thank you, Katya! I truly appreciate you!
