Architectural Decorative Arts Conservation, Restoration, Collections Management, Preventive Care & Art Exhibitions Support

Kalypso Kampani leads a specialised art conservation practice dedicated to the preservation, study and long-term care of artworks and historic interiors. With more than two decades of international experience across the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Greece, her work serves museums, heritage organisations, private collections and architecturally significant properties. Her approach is defined by precision, research-led methodology and a clear understanding of how artworks exist within their material, cultural and architectural context, ensuring conservation outcomes that are both technically sound and historically sensitive.

Drawing on her expertise in wall paintings, mosaics, decorative surfaces, easel and panel paintings, polychrome sculpture, gilding, plaster, stone, metal and mixed-media works, Kalypso provides conservation interventions that stabilise, protect and restore complex artworks with discretion and clarity. She offers guidance on preventive conservation, collections care and exhibition preparation, supporting institutions and private clients in maintaining safe, stable environments for their collections. Her practice also extends to material research, paint analysis and the redesign or reinstatement of historic decorative schemes, including stencil decoration and traditional finishes.

Through close collaboration with architects, engineers, curators and specialist consultants, Kalypso Kampani delivers coordinated solutions for heritage sites and collections, ensuring that every project is approached with the highest standard of professional integrity. Her work reflects a balance of craftsmanship, scientific understanding and long-term preservation strategy, providing clients with expert support at every stage of conservation and care.

Art Conservation & Consultancy

Preservation of artworks is approached through a considered and methodical process, guided by a clear understanding of each object’s material structure and history. She begins by studying every piece closely, assessing its condition, past interventions and inherent vulnerabilities through careful visual examination and, when required, scientific analysis. Based on this understanding, she develops a tailored treatment plan and carries out only the necessary interventions, whether that involves reducing surface deposits, consolidating unstable or flaking layers or reintegrating areas of loss where appropriate. Preventive care forms an essential part of her methodology, supported by controlled environmental conditions, safe handling, appropriate display systems and archival packaging for transport. Every stage is documented through detailed written reports and photographs, ensuring clarity, transparency and continuity in the conservation record of each artwork.

Collections Care, Management and Preventive Conservation

Specialised consultation is offered for collections management and preventive conservation, with an emphasis on understanding the specific needs of each collection and the conditions in which it is stored or displayed. She evaluates environmental requirements, advises on appropriate climate control and light levels, and establishes clear guidelines for handling, packing and transport to reduce avoidable risks. Her work includes developing long-term maintenance plans, contributing to exhibition planning with a focus on risk reduction, and supporting institutions and private collectors in preparing effective strategies for emergency response and disaster preparedness. Through this advisory role, she helps ensure that artworks are cared for responsibly, protected from preventable deterioration and sustained with thoughtful, long-term planning.

Exhibition and art-handling coordination is carried out with a focus on safety, precision and clear communication between all parties involved. She oversees the planning of display layouts, prepares detailed condition reports before installation, and supervises the mounting, lighting and environmental requirements to ensure that artworks are presented securely and to professional standards. Her work extends to art fairs, where she coordinates packing, transport and rapid installation under controlled and secure conditions. She also collaborates with galleries and art dealers, offering expertise on condition assessment, authenticity considerations, display needs and the ways in which conservation can influence an artwork’s long-term stability and market value.
