A technique to physically restore damaged paintings with artificial intelligence in hours rather than months has been developed.
The method involves printing a transparent "mask" containing thousands of precisely colour-matched regions that conservators can apply directly to an original artwork.
These masks can be removed whenever needed making the process reversible so it does not permanently change a painting.
To restore a painting, traditional cleaning is used to remove any previous restoration attempts.
After scanning the cleaned painting, AI algorithms analyse the image and create a virtual restoration that "predicts" what the damaged areas should look like based on the surrounding paint and the artist's style.
Custom software maps every region needing repair and determines the exact colours required for each spot.
The software then translates that information into a two-layer polymer mask printed on thin films.
One layer provides colour, while a white backing layer ensures the full colour spectrum reproduces accurately on the painting's surface.
The two layers must align precisely to produce an accurate restoration.
High-fidelity inkjet printers produce the mask layers which are aligned by hand.
They adhere to the painting using conservation-grade varnish spray.
Future removal of the mask can be done without damaging the original work.

Vintage repair garage and workshop in Derbyshire.
Roger Thorpe, 80, a mechanic and vintage car enthusiast, has run the workshop in Castleton since 1967. The building was constructed in 1895 for the Hope Valley railway and converted to a garage in the 1930s.
Vintage vehicles at Castleton Garage in Derbyshire, which mechanic and enthusiast Roger Thorpe, 80, has run since 1967. The building was originally constructed in 1895 for the Hope Valley Railway and converted to a garage in the 1930s.
Roger started work as an apprentice mechanic at Rover in Solihull and has beautifully restored a grey Rover 12 Sports Saloon [CEW 103] - “which is like a gentleman’s club inside”. Alongside the Rover is a silver 1920s Bugatti Type 23 [reg SV-7851] which he still races in Vintage Sports Car Club muddy trials across the country. The vehicle - which “has no doors, no hood, no speedo and not even paint to keep the weight down” - is currently being repaired after the gearbox failed while he was competing in Derbyshire in the depths of last winter.
Roger also treasures a blue Vauxhall 30/98,[ DS8294] made in 1924. He is only its fourth owner and has toured the car around Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. However, it sports a powerful 4.25 litre engine which makes it ideal for classic and vintage hill climb events be racing at Harewood Hillclimb, West Yorkshire, on 3 June.
Tucked away in the corner, under a protective cover, is a 1929 Austin 7 [RX 5591] which he used to teach both his daughters to drive.
Other collectors’ items include a variety of oil cans from 1903 onwards, an Edwardian steering wheel, a rare 1920s petrol pump, a 1960s spark plug machine, manufacturers’ bespoke car repair tool sets, a US army crane for lifting Jeeps, early studded tyres, rare car bonnet mascots, touring car posters and racing event badges.

Vintage repair garage and workshop in Derbyshire.
Roger Thorpe, 80, a mechanic and vintage car enthusiast, has run the workshop in Castleton since 1967. The building was constructed in 1895 for the Hope Valley railway and converted to a garage in the 1930s.
Vintage vehicles at Castleton Garage in Derbyshire, which mechanic and enthusiast Roger Thorpe, 80, has run since 1967. The building was originally constructed in 1895 for the Hope Valley Railway and converted to a garage in the 1930s.
Roger started work as an apprentice mechanic at Rover in Solihull and has beautifully restored a grey Rover 12 Sports Saloon [CEW 103] - “which is like a gentleman’s club inside”. Alongside the Rover is a silver 1920s Bugatti Type 23 [reg SV-7851] which he still races in Vintage Sports Car Club muddy trials across the country. The vehicle - which “has no doors, no hood, no speedo and not even paint to keep the weight down” - is currently being repaired after the gearbox failed while he was competing in Derbyshire in the depths of last winter.
Roger also treasures a blue Vauxhall 30/98,[ DS8294] made in 1924. He is only its fourth owner and has toured the car around Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. However, it sports a powerful 4.25 litre engine which makes it ideal for classic and vintage hill climb events be racing at Harewood Hillclimb, West Yorkshire, on 3 June.
Tucked away in the corner, under a protective cover, is a 1929 Austin 7 [RX 5591] which he used to teach both his daughters to drive.
Other collectors’ items include a variety of oil cans from 1903 onwards, an Edwardian steering wheel, a rare 1920s petrol pump, a 1960s spark plug machine, manufacturers’ bespoke car repair tool sets, a US army crane for lifting Jeeps, early studded tyres, rare car bonnet mascots, touring car posters and racing event badges.
