Olga Nikolic-Litwin approaches restoration with deference to the works themselves. For every painting and icon, Olga develops a thoughtful strategy that addresses your concerns and honors the artist's intentions. An engagement typically begins with a consultation, followed by an in-depth examination and a written proposal outlining expected results and alternative treatments. Olga will deliver meticulous and customized restoration accompanied by a written report of the work done, with all stages of treatment documented by photographs.

Even small projects that do not need such detailed preparations and procedures will be approached with the same care and attention.

Most restoration treatments are done in Olga's studio, located on the Upper East Side of New York City. Less complex treatments can be accomplished on-site as well.
