Dana Decheva: The Lifework of a Conservator-Restorer
Language: Bulgarian with extended summary in English
За труда на един реставратор — Дана Дечева
Category: Art Studies
Yordanka "Dana" Decheva graduated from the Art Academy in Sofia with the first class of the Conservation and Restoration Master's Degree Programme in Bulgaria. Endowed with the hand and the eye of an artist, she built herself as a professional capable of applying her conservator-restorer skills in combination with a vast knowledge of history, the arts and the exact sciences. This book presents part of her legacy: restored icons, paintings and drawings, including works by Bulgarian fine art classics. Another aspect highlighted is "the world of the conservator-restorer", entirely subject to fundamental rules and ethical standards awaiting the test of time.
In an interview, Dana Decheva outlined the way she approached each assignment. "You inspect the work with trepidation, you explore the technique employed, you need to feel it..." Asked whether the job of the conservator-restorer is creative, Dana Decheva replied: "To my mind, every job is creative. You may design a project, write an article, cook a meal at home — and find something new. If you ask three conservator-restorers how they will deal with a particular work, they may come up with three different solutions. And all three would be right — as long as they respect the general principles of technique and restoration..."
Prof. Grigori Grigorov
