Demanding, perfectionist and committed to her work, Pilar Chaves Castanedo has a degree in Fine Arts and a PhD in Restoration and Conservation of Works of Art, as well as being the founder of Tres a Restauración.
This prestigious Cantabrian restorer, who intervenes in all kinds of works of art, opened in Santander in 2000, a workshop with experimental vocation and also specialized in contemporary art, which twenty-three years later, is a reference in its sector throughout Spain, thanks to the passion of Pilar Chaves Castanedo for safeguarding works of art and historical heritage.
Halfway between science and creativity, her profession requires a permanent training and a great investment in state-of-the-art technology and materials, in order to continue advancing in research, analysis and the application of innovative and sustainable treatments.
With more than 6000 works of art intervened, Tres a Restauración is at the service of art and historical heritage of Cantabria, as well as individuals and institutions as relevant as: the Juan March Foundation, the CAC of Malaga, Spanish Cultural Action or the University of the Basque Country, among many others.
In addition to her involvement in conservation and restoration, Pilar Chaves Castanedo carries out, among other tasks, the analysis and examination of works of art, which are included in reports.
