Conservation and preservation of western works of art on paper and books.
Islamic and Indo-Islamic manuscripts and paintings on paper.
I am an independent conservator working on paper artworks, books, maps, posters, 3D paper objects, and modern art. I received my M.A. in Conservation from the University Panthéon-Sorbonne-Paris in 2002. I completed placements at la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Tate Britain, the National Museum of Hungary, and the National Museum of India in New-Delhi.
After working for ten years as a freelancer in France, five years at the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar, and two years at the Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam, I opened my own practice in Utrecht, in the Netherlands.
