Exploring the world of sex and eroticism without boundaries or taboos.

Andrea Semeghini, through his artistic project VANADIO23, develops an eccentric and playful visual universe where sex, humor, and provocation blend to encourage people to embrace their sexuality with irony and free themselves from social norms. His illustrations explore the world of sex and eroticism without boundaries or taboos, inviting an open and lighthearted dialogue around desire and identity.
With VANADIO23, Andrea aims to make everyone feel safe, free, and comfortable with their sexual identity, including gender expression, orientation, and the relationship with their body. His work seeks to positively and playfully challenge cultural norms around sexuality, promoting the recognition and celebration of diverse sexual identities.

The name VANADIO23, inspired by the world of workwear, comes from the vanadium element used in the metallurgical industry to create durable tools. On the periodic table, its symbol is V23, characterized by a soft pink hue, a signature color in the brand’s palette. The symbolic universe of VANADIO revolves around sex and love, drawing inspiration from Vanadis (Freia), the Scandinavian goddess of beauty and fertility. Through this blend of strength and sensuality, VANADIO23 represents a more organic, simple, and personal way of belonging to the fashion landscape.
