Hi there!
I’m marta estadella colomé, a Sculpture Conservator specialising in gilded and polychromed wood.
I am especially interested in the stratigraphical study of polychromy on sculptures, the structural support conservation of wooden objects as well as in cleaning methodologies. I have broad experience in the elaboration of digital drawings and diagrams for conservation documentation: technique, polychromy reconstruction and conservation assessment. More on my path here.
I really love sharing resources as well as giving back to the community by helping other conservators with professional mentorship (something that I really-really wish existed many years ago):
— Mentorship Zoom sessions (as well as Pro Bono ones)
— this free newsletter!1
Previously, I published all my love for polychrome wooden sculpture in another 1-year project newsletter.
I am a member of the FFCR and AEAE. Former ICOM-CC Sculpture, Polychromy and Architectural Decorations Working Group Assistant Coordinator.
