“I love being a part of this industry.”
Ariana Van X tells AVN that flirting comes naturally for her.
The gorgeous Venezuelan performer says it’s the personality trait for which she is most known.
“If you met me, at first you might think I’m very shy, but it’s just my way to observe and read the room,” Ariana explains. “Once I know you and I get comfortable, I can be very outgoing. I love making people feel good when they are around me, I can be very goofy sometimes, but I’m a natural flirt.
“I love flirting with life in general, I think it’s my trademark.”
Thanks to her passionate sex scenes and sultry looks, Van X is flirting with a new level of stardom. Critics and fans alike have taken notice as the 25-year-old received a nomination for Best New International Starlet at the 2022 AVN Awards last month.
“It feels really good to be acknowledged for the work that I’ve done. It means I’m doing something right,” Ariana says.
Van X at press time had about 30 professional porn credits and two of her most memorable scenes so far were among her first: “A Girl Can Dream” with Jesus Reyes for Blacked.com and “Best of Your Time” with Alberto Blanco for Vixen.com.
“Those are two of my favorites but I have yet to shoot my best scene in my opinion,” Ariana says. “The atmosphere on set is really important to me. I like to actually have fun and enjoy myself in the process.”
Born and raised in Caracas, she left Venezuela for The Netherlands, where she worked as a babysitter and waitress while also trying to be a photographer. It was the latter endeavor that helped her meet a lot of friends.
“I currently live in Madrid, Spain. I have been here for the last four years and I love it,” says Van X, who started out as a webcam model on MyFreeCams while in The Netherlands.
“In October of 2020 I decided I wanted to try shooting for productions so I asked my fans to tag and mention me on Julia Grandi’s Instagram and she reached out to me shortly after that. A week later I shot my first scenes.
“My first scenes were for Vixen and Blacked, and I shot them in Ibiza in October of 2020.”
Ariana continues, “I love being a part of this industry. It’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me.”
