Our Story
About
I’Arte Rinasce.
Art reborn. Legacies preserved. Trust earned.
Who We Are
Where the gavel meets the conservation table — and both answer to the same standard.
I'Arte Rinasce — Italian for "Art Reborn" — was built on a conviction that runs deeper than commerce: that every work of art is a living record of human memory, and that when it is lost, something irreplaceable disappears from the world. We exist because that loss is preventable.
We believe that to protect a work of art is to protect the civilisation that made it. Every canvas stabilised, every sculpture consolidated, every fragile document preserved — is a fragment of human history kept alive for those who come after us. That responsibility sits at the centre of everything we do.
Founder & CEO
Aishwarya Chandurkar
art Conservation & Restoration expert . art advisor · Lorenzo De' Medici Institute, Florence, italy
Aishwarya trained at the Lorenzo De’ Medici Italian Institute in Florence, followed by two years studying and working across Italy, before returning to India to lead conservation at AstaGuru Auction House for nearly a decade as Associate Director of Art Conservation & Art Expert — recognised along the way as a TEDx speaker for her work in the field.
In Mumbai, she built the conservation studio around a simple belief: every artwork deserves the chance to be remembered.
Over the course of her career, she has restored and conserved 7,100+ artworks — paintings and objects that arrived damaged, aged, neglected, or simply in need of care. With every work, she has learned that conservation is never merely about repairing what is visible; it is about understanding what came before, respecting the artist’s hand, and protecting the memory held within the object.
She leads our art advisory panel, oversees all art conservation treatments, and advises collectors on acquisition, condition, and long-term stewardship — bringing museum-standard conservation and restoration to Mumbai, while maintaining a presence in Auckland, New Zealand, extending this expertise to collectors, galleries, institutions, and artists across both regions.
I’Arte Rinasce is an extension of that belief: that art should not simply survive — its stories should endure.

Four principles. No exceptions.
Trust & Authenticity
“Provenance before price. Always.”
Building confidence through rigorous due diligence, provenance research, authentication, and transparent practices across acquisitions, sales, and collections management.
Authentication Without Compromise
“We follow the evidence, not the market.”
We follow the evidence, not the market. Our authentication assessments draw on technical examination, archival research and independent scholarly opinion. We will not confirm what we cannot substantiate — and we will say so plainly when we cannot.
Expertise & Insight
“Knowledge before opinion.”
Providing informed guidance through market intelligence, scholarly research, professional valuations, and specialist advisory services tailored to collectors, institutions, and artists.
Auction with Integrity
“Honesty before profit.”
Our auction programme is built on transparency: accurate condition reporting, honest estimates and full provenance disclosure. We would rather pass on a consignment than misrepresent it. The trust of buyers and sellers is the only currency that compounds.
