Restoration’s a tough balance, but I get it. Protect the piece, keep its soul, that’s the way. If you’re looking at a cracked canvas, you don't just patch it up—you're respecting what it was meant to be. Stick to the fundamentals, use the right materials, and you’ll honor both the artist’s intent and the beauty that remains. If you need a hand or just want to talk through the details, I’ve got your back.
