Indonesian paintings are not only artistic expressions but also cultural artifacts that reflect the rich history and diversity of Indonesia. At Atelier IDDI Painting Restoration, we understand the crucial role these artworks play in preserving cultural heritage, and that each painting has its own story and specifications.

Techniques and Materials in Indonesian Painting
Our expert restorers specialize in conserving and restoring these unique works, combining traditional Indonesian methods with modern restoration techniques. Examples include the Djaya brothers, Leo Eland, Raden Saleh, and Dezentje.
Indonesian paintings are often characterized by the use of natural pigments sourced from the local environment. These pigments, made from earth, minerals, and sometimes plant-based materials, create a unique palette but can be vulnerable to fading and damage from light and moisture. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of these materials and apply specialized methods to preserve these unique paintings for the future.
Our restorers use a combination of traditional techniques and modern technologies. Respecting the original methods of the painting, such as the use of fine brushes and specialized blending techniques, is enhanced by advanced technologies like digital image analysis. This expertise enables us to apply the most suitable conservation and restoration methods while preserving the integrity of the original artwork.
A recent project involved the restoration of paintings by Otto Djaja. Our restorer began the process with a thorough analysis of the damage, contamination, and materials used. We then developed a tailored solution to stabilize the paint and clean the surface.
The restoration involved carefully cleaning the canvas, stabilizing the paint, and reflattening the canvas. The result was a vibrantly restored painting that retained its cultural and aesthetic value.
