ANYMA — AEDEN

Visual Identity by Alessio De Vecchi
Visual Co-Creative Director since inception • Creator of EVA, ADAM, LILITH, SYREN • EDM.com Best Visual Artist 2023

The Visual Universe Behind AEDEN

ANYMA's AEDEN World Tour 2026 builds on a visual universe that Alessio De Vecchi has been developing since 2018 — first independently, then as Visual Co-Creative Director of ANYMA since the project's inception in 2021. The characters, aesthetic language, and visual pipeline that define ANYMA's visual identity were co-created and co-directed by De Vecchi with Matteo Milleri across every phase of the project, from the first live show at Printworks London to the Sphere Las Vegas residency.

AEDEN: De Vecchi's Contribution

For AEDEN, De Vecchi and his team are creating a self-contained mini-act within the show — four movements forming their own narrative arc.

The act explores the figure of Lucifer — not wrathful or diabolical, but defeated. A being reigning over a world of errors and glitch, steering architecture and perception from a throne of resignation. Four movements trace a descent through failure, loss, imprisonment, and the quiet devastation of knowing you built the world you're trapped in. The visual language is fractured geometry, corrupted structure, beauty that keeps almost resolving and never does.

The work is authored, directed, and produced by De Vecchi with the team that has been with him since the beginning of the ANYMA project.

Five Years of Record

As confirmed by Variety, De Vecchi has been "involved with the project since its inception." Alexander Wessely — an accomplished creative director in his own right, brought on as head creative and stage designer for the Sphere production — was unequivocal about the lineage: "A huge part of this world was shaped by Alessio De Vecchi, a brilliant visual artist, whose vision was foundational to the show" (Flaunt Magazine). In a separate interview, Wessely called De Vecchi "a core partner since the project's inception" (Office Magazine). Sphere Entertainment Co. itself credits him by name and title: "Art direction by visual co-creative director Alessio De Vecchi."

From Inception to AEDEN

2018–2020 — Prior Art
De Vecchi develops the robotic humanoid visual language in his personal creative practice. EVA exists as a disembodied head — a sculptural study, not yet a full character. Lilith is being developed for a separate film project, with a different body and narrative context. Sphere concepts (2018–2019), robotic humanoid working files (2019), 3D cyborg NFTs on SuperRare (2020). The aesthetic DNA that would define ANYMA exists before the project has a name.
2021 — Partnership
De Vecchi partners with Matteo Milleri to co-author ANYMA, bringing EVA, years of prior creative work, and his most trusted collaborators and personal connections into the project without hesitation. Live debut at Printworks London.
2022 — Printworks & Character Universe
ANYMA debuts live at Printworks London with De Vecchi's visuals driving every screen. ADAM, LILITH (a character De Vecchi had been developing since 2019), and SYREN join the ANYMA universe — each designed and directed by De Vecchi with Milleri's creative feedback shaping the final result. Four characters, four distinct emotional identities, one coherent visual world. The project goes from a promising concept to a recognizable force in electronic music. The visuals are why.
2023 — Recognition
De Vecchi named EDM.com Best Visual Artist: "Its visuals have no rival and it's all thanks to Alessio De Vecchi." Not shared credit. Not team recognition. A singular attribution to a singular body of work.

2026 — AEDEN World Tour
De Vecchi and his team create a self-contained mini-act for the AEDEN World Tour — four movements exploring Lucifer as a figure of resignation and glitch. Sphere returns in 2027.
