ARIUS TECHNOLOGY

ARIUS TECHNOLOGY

Preserving the DNA of Global Art and Heritage
The Gold Standard in High-Fidelity Art Conservation and Digital Heritage

Arius stands at the intersection of fine art, forensic technology, and cultural preservation. Originally developed for the forensic analysis of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, Arius’ proprietary technology has evolved into the world’s leading platform for safeguarding the world's most significant art collections.

For the discerning collector, family office, or museum, Arius provides more than just a scan; we provide an Art Digital Master File (ADMF™). A comprehensive "digital twin” captures over 1 billion data points, recording the geometry and color of a painting’s surface down to 10 microns (one-tenth the width of a human hair).

Innovative Solutions for Museums, Private Collectors & Family Offices

• Legacy Protection & Future-Proofing: We create a permanent, immutable record of your collection. In the event of unforeseen damage, fire, or natural degradation, the ADMF™ serves as a cultural seed bank, ensuring the soul and detail of a masterpiece are never lost.

• Forensic Authentication & Provenance: Our technology records the unique relief of every brushstroke. This digital twin offers an indisputable benchmark for authentication, helping to combat fraud and underpinning the long-term value of your assets.

• Virtual Restoration: Before a physical conservator ever touches a masterpiece, Arius allows for digital restoration prototypes. We empower conservation teams to turn back time on aging works and test restoration plans in a risk-free digital environment.

• On-Site Global Scanning: To ensure the security of your collection, our proprietary mobile scanning systems can be deployed directly to a private residence, storage facility, or museum gallery, anywhere in Europe, North America, and beyond.

Philanthropy & Cultural Heritage 

Arius has worked alongside prestigious institutions, such as the National Gallery of Canada and Tate Britain, to democratize access to culture. Through our ultra-high-resolution data, we enable museums to create touchable, high-fidelity replicas for the visually impaired and for educational outreach, providing interactive and memorable experiences that can be enjoyed, and felt, by future generations, without risking the original.

Why Digitize Your Art Collection? 

In an era where physical assets face increasing risks from climate, transport, and time, Arius offers peace of mind, and so much more. We empower museums, family offices and philanthropists to leverage their collections for research and education while maintaining the highest standards of physical security and asset preservation. Discover the full potential of Arius’ ADMF technology and start planning the digital future of your collection.

VARVARA ROZA GALLERIES

Varvara Roza Galleries (based in London) and The Blender Gallery (based in Athens) are joining forces as they share one common goal and passion: establishing Greece’s brightest artists into the global art market and overseas brightest artists into the Greek Market. 

Varvara Roza is the owner and Managing Director of Varvara Roza Galleries. She has a track record of organising cultural events on a large-scale not only in Greece but also in London, Paris, Berlin, and the rest of Europe. Being a successful businesswoman in the energy industry and former politician in her home country, Greece, she always had a love for contemporary art – collecting for over 20 years. She is passionately combining the two great loves of her life: her political and entrepreneurial life in Greece with her enduring love for art and its evolution. In doing so, she has decided to strongly support and promote Greek Art in London, since London is one of the most important Art centres worldwide. It is a place that determines the art market to a great extent. Through her extensive experience working in the cultural sector, she introduces some of its brightest protagonists of Greek Art into London market. Varvara Roza Galleries is aiming to promote and establish Greek Art in the UK and European market. 

“Greece was the birthplace of wondrous works of art. Modern Greece has a thriving artistic community. This generation’s art must be promoted and become internationally known.” Varvara Roza explains.

Iason Theophanidis, a bilingual British/Greek entrepreneur living in Athens Greece, is the owner and Managing Director of The Blender Gallery, based in Athens Riviera. With a background in 2D design and having worked as an artist who has exhibited and worked in both London and Athens, he has a unique insight into the needs and requirements of both artists and collectors. Having truly lived both sides of the industry, with a passion for art, he soon realised that he could do so much more for the industry by helping and managing other artists, which lead to him opening the gallery. Since 2012 he has been working with his team to promote upcoming artists in Greece and abroad as well as giving established artists a modern space to showcase their artwork.  Being half British and having travelled the world he has managed to bring a multitude of new ideas and concepts to ‘The Blender Gallery’ that set it apart from other Galleries in Greece.The Blender Gallery is a 400 m2 state of the art modern Gallery, constantly evolving, situated in southern Athens. Iason specifically designed the gallery to be incredibly versatile in order to meet all artist requirements. The concept for The Blender Gallery was born when Iason was working as a graphic designer and artist in a space shared with other creative individuals that they affectionately referred to as ‘the Blender’, due to their different disciplines. Iason believes that all creative forms of expression are art forms, and this concept remains strong within the ethos of the gallery today, establishing ‘The Blender Gallery’ as one of the leading galleries in Athens.

About the Partnership

For Varvara Roza Galleries and the Blender Gallery the reason for choosing Greek artists, is obvious:
”Greece has always been the birthplace of wondrous works of art.  Greek art is hugely significant and important throughout history for both Greeks and rest of the world. Modern Greece has a thriving artistic community. This generation’s art must be promoted and become internationally known.”

In 2019, Iason Theophanidis and Varvara Roza formed a partnership. Sharing the vision to promote Greek artists, together they create opportunities them to gain the recognition they deserve, whilst also introducing artists from abroad to the Greek public and collectors. With Iason being British based in Athens, and Varvara being a Greek based in London they are uniquely positioned to turn this vision into reality, as they combine their networks to ensure that their services of art dealing, curating and marketing across Europe are of the highest level of excellence and integrity. Despite their plans being delayed due to the pandemic, they used this global turn of events to their advantage to promote the artists privately, to seal some sales prior to the exhibitions, and to further develop their strategy, so that their investment in these exceptional artists is as effective as possible. As both Iason and Varvara specialise in contemporary art, together they have already accomplished to discover rare talent of unique cultural relevance and diversity. Dedicated to make this art globally accessible, they have created a long-term strategy of careful steps placing value in quality not quantity. Always putting faith in personal contact and teamwork, they stand beside their artists and not opposite them, conversing and listening to their needs, giving them space to evolve. They also invest in building strong relationships with their clients/collectors, truly acting to the best of their interests and advising them accordingly.
