Mouth & Foot Painters (Pty) Ltd. President

Eros Bonamini had a quiet childhood. He was studying at a technical college
when he had a sporting accident which completely changed his life. While
performing a racing dive he suffered an injury to his spine and became confined
to the wheelchair. During a long therapy in which he learned to live with his new
physical condition he developed a passion for literature and classical music.
This was when he discovered painting and completely immersed in it. Painting became his main occupation. He learned different techniques and the basics of painting from various artists. It was already in 1966 that he became a full member of the Association. In 1984 he was elected member of the Board of the Association. On the occasion of the general assembly in October 2002, Eros Bonamini was elected president of the Association of Mouth and Footpainting Artists Worldwide.

Eros Bonamini, who signs his paintings with his pseudonym "Veronese" was able to develop his great talent as mouth painter in an incredibly short period of time, studying with two professors. The tradition of cubism forms the basis of his creative work, which is reflected in his still lives and landscape sceneries. The compositions of the mouth painter clearly reveal his artistic intellect. Since 1965 he has regularly shown his paintings at group and solo exhibitions all over the world. Art critics have time and again praised his excellent work.
