Veronika Paderni, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Gina Malone<\/p>\n<p>As an artist, Veronika Paderni prefers the name she uses in the creation of her digital art that is based in the study of numbers and symbols: Galaxy Epop. \u201c<em>Epop<\/em> is derived from the Greek word <em>epopteia<\/em>, referring to those who return to witness rituals again,\u201d she says. \u201cIn a philosophical sense, it symbolizes the culmination of purification and instruction, leading to the direct revelation of truth and contemplation of divine realities.\u201d Epop, she adds, further suggests \u201cblending esoteric knowledge with popular culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born in Brescia, Italy, near Milan, she grew up with the arts, spending time at the Uffizi Galleries and at churches in Florence. Her mother worked as an industrial entrepreneur and her father as an opera singer, which brought the music of Puccini and Verdi into her world. \u201cWhen my father relocated to Rome, our family frequently visited the Vatican,\u201d she says, \u201cwhere we immersed ourselves in the masterpieces of Caravaggio, Bellini and Michelangelo, plus Neoclassical and Baroque arts.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_71298\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71298\" class=\"wp-image-71298\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-Mercury-5.2-Paderni-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-71298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mercury 5. Veronika Paderni, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When she was in her twenties and thirties, Paderni traveled as a tour guide, spending a lot of time in another artistically and culturally abundant region: Egypt. \u201cI developed a deep affection for Luxor and the rich Egyptian and Nubian cultures in Aswan,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>In subsequent years, she moved to Miami and worked in her family\u2019s restaurant in Coconut Grove. \u201cDuring this time, I delved deeper into the study of symbols, numerology, archetypes, Fibonacci and sacred mathematics,\u201d she says. \u201cMy creative inspiration comes from my husband, Daniele, who supports my research in symbolism and Pythagorean numerology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple relocated to West Asheville after falling in love with the vibrant arts scene and the beauty of the surrounding mountains. Paderni joined the staff at Gallery COR, where her work is displayed, and divides her time between working there and creating at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVeronika\u2019s digital collage works are wonderfully intricate and balanced, and each has a fascinating, multilayered story,\u201d says Leslie Rowland, owner of Gallery COR. \u201cPeople are drawn to art for different reasons. Two traits that draw me deeply into a work of art are eloquence of composition and a meaningful story. Veronika\u2019s work has both. It\u2019s a vibrant breath of fresh air.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paderni\u2019s creative work includes collaborating with businesses and other artists on various projects and exhibitions. An example is a current collaboration focusing on stones, colors and numerology with Federica Cattani, who works in the hospitality industry in Florida. \u201cThis project will be proposed in the hotel industry design sector especially for boutique hotels and holistic resorts,\u201d says Paderni.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_71297\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71297\" class=\"wp-image-71297\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2-810x518.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cover-Artist-Veronika-Paderni-4-copy-2-1140x730.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-71297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Veronika Paderni, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>She also hosts private events featuring art and numerology, and works with individual clients on commissioned artwork. \u201cMy works aim to help people in self-discovery and understanding their potential,\u201d her website states. \u201cMany of my works are tailored to the numerological characteristics of those who commission, and ultimately aim to elevate their spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like archetypes, she explains, images have the ability to communicate universally. \u201cBefore creating, I have a concept in mind tied to numbers or symbols,\u201d she says, \u201cand through digital means I can express concepts with joy and lightness that might otherwise be difficult for me to convey in a language I don\u2019t master perfectly. I\u2019m passionate about colors and color combinations, but each chosen hue also reflects a concept I aim to express.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She likens her art to fashion: \u201cI never know what I will do in the next collection,\u201d she says. \u201cArts and knowledge have always been my obsessions. Creating, for me, is like entering a trance state where I\u2019m connected to an archetypal world of totem animals and power.
