VENESIAWORLD: BUILDING A WORLD OF ITS OWN
VenesiaWorld is an experimental electronic artist, producer, and visual creator whose work has steadily carved out a distinctive place within the underground. Through immersive releases, conceptual world building, and a carefully constructed visual language, the project has become known for treating music as part of a larger artistic vision.
Music, visuals, and storytelling are inseparable within VenesiaWorld. Every release opens the door to a new environment shaped by symbolism, shifting identities, and emotional landscapes that are equally intimate and cinematic.
The debut album Plastic 100C established a singular creative vision, pairing fractured production with an uncompromising visual identity and a deeply personal examination of transformation, emotional detachment, and the illusions woven into contemporary culture.
In this conversation, VenesiaWorld discusses the role of intuition, the relationship between sound and image, the creative process behind Plastic 100C, and why the most compelling art often comes from embracing uncertainty.
Words by Xavi Sosa
GATA: VenesiaWorld feels more like a universe than a person - how do you define it?
VenesiaWorld: It’s an ecosystem, a living sandbox where everything bleed into each other. I never wanted to be an artist you just listen to on a playlist; I wanted to create a place you could step inside of. It’s a distortion of reality—part dream, part nightmare, but entirely intentional. VenesiaWorld is the manifestation of everything I can't express just by existing in the outside world
GATA: Do you write from personal experience, or are your songs more conceptual?
VenesiaWorld: I balance both, but I divide them by format. My singles are more outward-looking. I act as an observer, sharing my take on society and the media landscape. My albums, however, are completely personal. Since I’m young, I’m going through constant changes and growth. Every album is a chance to capture those inner transformations. It’s like taking a picture of my mindset and freeze-framing that specific stage of my life through lyrics and sound
GATA: What emotions do you want listeners to sit with after hearing your music?
VenesiaWorld: I don’t consciously set intentions when I make music. I just let intuition guide the process. But looking back, the feeling that often emerges is a mix of beautiful discomfort and hope.

GATA: Your visuals feel just as important as the music: how do you approach that side of your work?
VenesiaWorld: For me, it’s a completely fluid process. Sometimes I’ll have a visual concept for an entire album before a single song is written. Other times, I let things unfold naturally and develop the visual world alongside the music. There’s no fixed method — the concepts usually reveal themselves through the process.
I like to think that visuals bring the 'salt' to the music—it’s that essential flavor, a vital part of its soul. The visuals create the anchor; they build the specific aesthetic and vibe that people associate with the sound. When you listen to the track, that imagery is what locks you into the feeling. Without that visual world, the music is only half-told.
GATA: What inspires the darker, surreal aesthetic you use?
VenesiaWorld: I believe that, as artists, we use our work to give our shadow self a room to breathe. Making art is often a deep exploration of the parts of ourselves that usually remain hidden, and that’s where my attraction to darker visuals comes from. I’ve always been drawn to darker things—whether in music, films, imagery, or stories—so it naturally became part of the way I express myself.
It gives me a way to explore and reveal aspects of myself that don’t always have a place in everyday life. To me, identity is fluid and constantly evolving. I look at the traits, morals, and beliefs that make me who I am, and I realize they can be reshaped into entirely new forms.
At the same time, I’m building VenesiaWorld as a lyrical character—a version of myself that exists within the music. It’s not about putting on a mask or becoming someone else. It’s still genuinely me, but certain emotions, ideas, and contradictions are amplified and expressed through a darker, more surreal lens.
GATA: How do you choose who to collaborate with?
VenesiaWorld: I rarely collaborate because for me, making music with someone is an incredibly intimate process. When you create something together, your energies completely merge. It's such a delicate balance, so I have to be extremely selective.
GATA: How do you see your sound evolving from your earlier releases to now?
VenesiaWorld: My evolution has been a journey of learning how to build worlds. My first album, Venesia World in 2021, was less about traditional tracks and more of an audio story with its own deep lore and characters. Back then, I didn't really know how to fully master my vocal work or song structure, but I had this massive story I just had to tell. By 2023, I released an EP called Human Computer, introducing a cold, electronic alter-ego, where the production became much more serious. Then in 2024 came Plastic 100C—a massive 24-track album filled with sonic deconstruction, experimental sounds, and a very raw, dark critique of the media and music industry. Today, what I’m working on is completely different again—it’s heavily musical, incredibly rich, and textured
Initially, it was supposed to be a trilogy where the character constantly warps and distorts alongside the music, turning into a monster. Visually, I chose white hair, black oil leaking from my mouth, and decayed teeth
Plastic 100°C represents the final stage where the character fully accepts his transformation. For a long time, I was experiencing a severe emotional anemia. My creativity during that period was an attempt to probe the boundaries of this 'plastic' reality. It became a cold documentation of that state: the album is highly structured, detached, yet terrifyingly precise in its details. The title holds a dual metaphor. The media industry is 'plastic'—moldable and beautiful, but hollow. But 100c is also the extreme temperature needed to melt that plastic. It captures the moment when a frozen, numb material finally softens and changes shape under absolute, burning pressure
GATA: Do you care about mainstream success, or is that irrelevant to you?
VenesiaWorld: Yeah, I’m pretty calm about it. I’m not in a rush to become a star overnight. For me, music is something I’ve chosen for life, so I don’t really care whether mainstream success happens now, ten years from now, or gradually over time.
What matters most is continuing to create, continuing to surprise people, and putting on the best show I can. I’d love to connect different scenes, influences, and audiences through my work. My goal is to make music that feels experimental and unusual, but still resonates with people on a human level, both through the sound and the visuals.
GATA: Do you think underground artists are becoming the new mainstream?
VenesiaWorld: Yes, absolutely. And I think it’s amazing because underground artists bring fresh knowledge, new perspectives, and an outsider’s point of view to the table. In a way, they are educating listeners who aren't used to this kind of sound. It’s a form of cultural globalization—breaking down walls and expanding what people think is possible in music
GATA: If someone enters the ‘VenesiaWorld’ for the first time, what should they be ready for?
VenesiaWorld: everything…
I think the best way to approach VenesiaWorld is without expectations. You don’t need to understand every reference or symbol. Just come in with an open mind and be willing to experience something unexpected.
