VeroDalla...
VeroDalla was born in the French village of Beaune, Burgundy, as Véronique Anne Chabrolle. Her father was a scientist, and her mother was a co-owner of some of Burgundy's highly acclaimed vineyards. At the age of ten, VeroDalla faced catastrophic health challenges, undergoing major surgery, and being brought back from the brink of death. During this unusual moment, she experienced a state of mind where she felt connected to everything, seeing, and feeling the light. Her experience led her to search for a deeper understanding of body and mind, exploring the insights revealed by Sigmund Freud's "Introduction to Psychoanalysis" from the age of eleven. Freud's findings provided her with alternative solutions to achieve optimal health while recovering from a form of cancer.
At nineteen, VeroDalla partnered with a noted chef and achieved success in the world of gastronomy, first as manager and then as owner of a Michelin-starred establishment in Nuits St. Georges. In 2006, a single poppy in a tiny field caught her attention and revealed to her that art was her path, her life. She began creating works in her private studio, experimenting with different techniques and mediums that reflected her experiences.
She started exhibiting her work in Burgundy in 2007 and then in galleries, exhibits, and national art shows throughout France. Her work soon made its way into international private collections through exhibitions in Monaco, Lyon, Paris, Venice, Verona, and the USA, with her 2009 work, LivenLuLu, achieving ever-increasing popularity. Her pieces can now be found in over 30 countries.
In 2012, emotionally drawn by the diversity and excitement of New York City, VeroDalla made it her new home. Her first sales in the city came through works auctioned by Christie's during a conference on collecting art as an investment strategy.
She participated to more than 80 exhibitions, through national and international shows and galleries, since beginning to create art; designing unique creations that symbolize the fight to overcome the obstacles we all face in life as we attempt to reconnect to our true selves.
VeroDalla currently lives, creates and works in New York City and Jersey City.
