The ArteLab is a Conservation & Restoration Company founded by the conservator restorer Elizabeth Martins, specialised in easel painting and contemporary art. We have worked closely with the Modern Art Center at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation along with other prestigious Institutes, galleries and private collectors.

Our conservation & restoration services comprise paintings, watercolours, sculptures, art on paper and other varied materials and techniques found in contemporary works. We also provide advice on collection management, condition reports, preventive conservation and adequate storage.
