The Chicago-Based restorer works around the clock to restore old paintings to their former glory, using a painstaking process. Every painting is unique and requires special attention. Using the wrong material might end up harming the painting even more.

That’s why Baumgartner spent years studying painting and restoration. He learned the craft from his father, a famous restorer in his own right, and joined his studio when he finished his apprenticeship.

Restoration might sound boring, but it’s actually fascinating – seeing a painting get a total makeover and change before our eyes is quite mesmerizing! Luckily for us, Baumgartner is kind enough to share his process on social media, along with commentary explaining his every step.

We’re used to seeing old, yellowing paintings, covered in soot and grime, with the color barely showing. But by the time Baumgartner is done with a painting, it comes back to life with brilliant colors seen in a new light!

That someone has a name: Alla Mingaleva. She is a 31-year-old art director оf Ukrainian descent who lives in Armenia. “It’s crazy, but it’s a good madness,” says she about the attention that his work has awakened in the last hours. She uploaded the image to Instagram on June 15.

Mingaleva was born in a city on the Crimean peninsula when this territory was part of Ukraine. She has many other montages on her Instagram account, in which characters from classical fine art appear in current offices. In her collages that are masterfully made with Photoshop, she combines characters from different artists and styles, both Renaissance and Baroque, especially Botticelli, Vermeer, Titian, and Rubens. Oftentimes one painting integrates characters from different artists.

Mingaliova spends a lot of time in an office for her work, the main reason that inspired her to make this series of montages. These are other images between meeting rooms and printers.

Beyond this series, the artist also plays with the characters of the paintings in other situations. Sometimes they leave the office because they’re dying of boredom.
