The creative talent of Eva Veronesi, an Italian Research Scientist, working on insects transmitted diseases, brought her to express her feelings and emotions through music (violin) and art. She has always been very passionate about art, inspired by her father, Gianluigi Veronesi, a talented surrealistic Italian painter. The deep interest in art and how to look at art encouraged Eva to enrol in a “Foundation in history of art” class run by Christine Lindey in 2006 within the Lifelong Learning Faculty at the Birkbeck University of London (UK), where she lived for 12 years (2002 – 2014). During her stay in England, she met an Italian art-historian and painter (Emilia Maggio) that was the mentor who encouraged her to paint. Since then, she enrolled on life drawing classes run by the artist Stephen Critchley at the West End Centre in Aldershot (UK) and displayed her drawings work within the West End Exhibition Centre. Her artistic expression has been previously mainly focussed on drawings (charcoal) until she started exploring the joy of brushing with oil and acrylics. In 2014 she moved to Switzerland, where she now lives and where she joined the atelier of Rolando Duartes, a Cuban artist who stimulated her on exploring the creative inner side with abstract art.
