Atelier Olivier Guyot

We specialize in various areas such as preliminary studies, technical analyses of painting techniques, and preventive and curative treatments of murals, plaster, mortar, and sculptures. We also work on all types of carved or painted decorations in monumental architecture (marble and wood imitation painting, stucco work).

We are also trained and qualified to carry out conservation and restoration work on canvas paintings (easel paintings) and polychrome wooden sculptures.

Thanks to our many years of experience, we work closely with the cantonal authorities in French-speaking Switzerland, which are responsible for the preservation of built cultural heritage, as well as with the Federal Commission for Monument Preservation.

Our team currently consists of a director (Olivier Guyot), a co-director for administrative tasks, and, depending on the order situation, two to four experienced and certified employees from Swiss universities (SUPSI, HE-arc, HKB Bern).

The studio regularly works in consortium with Julian James (Guyot-James Consortium) and, as part of the St-Dismas / Guyot-James studio, is particularly active in major restoration projects, such as those carried out in recent years on Fribourg Cathedral, Payerne Abbey Church, and Valeria Basilica in Sion.

Olivier Guyot is also an external lecturer at HE-arc Neuchâtel, in the department for the conservation and restoration of stone and painted plaster.
