OK, a stupid question. What do you call a person who restores paintings? A painting restorer? That sounds very clunky. Are there any ways to say this more elegantly.

Conservator sounds better. Can I use it without putting painting before it?

Not sure. The ‘official’ title has both words, it seems. But I can’t imagine anyone not understanding the job description even if you drop the ‘paintings’ part.

conservator is more general – it is someone who restores, looks after, delicate objects, usually art objects. So yes, it would work fine!
