Fresh Faces: Selva Lapiedra

LOS ANGELES—Rising star Selva Lapiedra describes her personality in a word. “Explosive.” “I and the character Selva are totally opposite since Selva was born with the idea of restart, change, renewal and overcoming a complicated life,” Lapiedra explains. “For that reason I can say that at any moment I can surprise and get an interpretation outside of what is normally seen. My personality as my person is multifaceted… “Also speaking of my name is due to my connection with the jungle and my origins.” Now the stunning performer shows the many sides of her personality when she’s on camera making big-time porn, which has become a regular occurrence since she stormed into the adult industry in September 2022. “In my career I can highlight that after six months I have worked with the best directors and producers out there,” says Lapiedra, who tells AVN her ethnicity is “Brazilian but from the Amazon Indians.” “I have started quite strong in the industry and I would love to continue doing so. Currently, I have several confirmed projects and a few to confirm. I hope to continue with much more work and improving with each scene I do.” Born and raised in a small town in Brazil—in the Amazon jungle—Selva says she grew up “so to speak like Mowgly, among animals and plants.” “I belong and will always be part of the jungle,” she says. When she was around 7 years old she moved to the south of Spain and has been living in different cities in Spain until last November, when she moved to Budapest. The 24-year-old performer trained in “communicative mediation” before adult. She took courses in Braille, makeup, massage, photography, acting, modeling and singing. Selva explains that she had an audiovisual production company when her life became especially challenging. “Due to life circumstances, so to speak, my life reached a point where I had lost everything and was alone submerged in a darkness of which at that moment was like in the end, not wanting to continue,” Selva recalls. “At that moment it can be said that although I was in the abyss, there was a person who was there in an unexpected way. He was the only person who made me happy or motivated me to want to start something different with my life. That is to say at that time I was talking with Ramiro Lapiedra to start in the sector. I first meet him for some photos and he told me how everything was going since he is a representative of some well-known porn actresses such as Apolonia Lapiedra, Lucía Lapiedra... “Ramiro Lapiedra somehow motivated me to continue and that's when I started. He was like my guardian angel.” Selva started her porn career on Sept. 1, 2022 “very determined to give her all and with very strong scenes”—and she hasn’t looked back. Lapiedra so far has worked for a who’s who of European porn, recording credits for LetsDoeIt, Rocco Siffredi, Pierre Woodman, Fake Taxi, BangBros, Virtuales, Dorcel, Vixen, Tushy, Viv Thomas, MetArt, SexArt, Nubiles and LittleCaprice-Dreams, among others. She says her first-ever scene was “an explosive mix of flavors.” “Having several guys and being in that situation for the first time is, like, damn... what do I do with so many cocks and how do I handle this?” Selva says. “It was a very crazy and fun feeling at the same time already that the classmates made this scene bearable and quite good. Mmmmm to tell the truth, I expected these scenes to be as strong as they had told me before, but it didn't seem like it to me!” Lapiedra tells AVN she was thrilled to work with the AVN Award-winning, husband-wife producing team of Little Caprice and Marcello Bravo. The Czech star Caprice is the reigning and three-time winner of AVN International Female Performer of the Year. Together they’ve built one of the top performer-owned studio sites in the industry. “The experience with Little Caprice and Marcello Bravo was incredible since they are a perfect combination of peace and whirlwind and working with them was wonderful,” Selva says. “Since one sees that when you work with people with experience and professionalism everything flows very differently. “When I went to work with them I didn't know them in person but I had seen a lot of their work. The scene with Little Caprice I can highlight the sexuality and complicity that there has been so that there was not much communication with her before. She is an artist of example in professionalism and work.” She continues, “The scene with Marcello was different from the ones I've done before and that professional game has led me to discover what turns me on and I like the good game of fetishism... “Mmmmmm to explain I love hard and fetishist sex and well with Marcello we have the limit fetish game in common... What I can say is that with each scene one can always discover and enjoy new experiences! Therefore, I can say a unique experience in which I liked everything about working with them.” Little Caprice tells AVN that she and Marcello enjoy shooting new faces and were impressed with Selva’s look and personality. "We shoot with her for three series—one Caprice Divas with myself, one Super Private X series with Marcello and one more Xpervo with her and Marcello,” Caprice explains. “When she told us she like hard, rough sex for us it was clear an Xpervo is a must.” Bravo tells AVN, “Oh my god, Selva surprised me very much. she told me before the scene starts that she wanna get hard used and that she loves more gonzo sex than soft stuff. I’m pretty sure we will nominate this scene for Best Gonzo Scene. She had multiple orgasms, squirted and deep-throats. In that scene it was everything what have to be.” Selva’s scene with Little Caprice—titled “Sensual Eyes”—will debut this Friday. Lapiedra recognizes and appreciates that each scene can produce a certain magic. “Each one is unique and I try to do my best, enjoy, learn,” Selva says. “LetsDoeIt… This scene was anal to the limit with Vince Carter, and well without words an excellent partner.” Lapiedra says the scenes she did that were directed by Rocco Siffredi not only were her first scenes in Budapest, but also her first mini orgies. “In which I confirmed that I like strong sex more and enjoy different people in a fantasy way,” Selva says with a laugh. “The scenes with Pierre Woodman make a connection and complicity with the team that works. … Vixen and Tushy highlight the sex to the elegant.” Selva continues, “The virtual scenes in each and every one of you, learning to connect more with the viewer, help you have sex with the viewers in mind…” She also highlighted one of the most recent performances she did for MetArt “in which I've been a cute kitty, almost all the time in this scene.” Selva continues, “the truth of interpreting for adults I always like everything with its hygiene and care... Highlighting that you have to enjoy and learn from each job.” The performer says she has learned a lot about herself already in the industry. “And every day that I work and not, I continue to learn more and more about the industry,” Selva says. “Highlighting the overcoming of my fears and anxiety for life.” When she isn’t working, Lapiedra says she’s “quite calm.” “When I am not Selva I am a person who likes to be at home, play with my girls even if it is talking on the phone. I love listening to music, learning from everything that I am not looking for information—draw, write, dance basically enjoy everything I can to be and live well with mine,” she says. On the topic of what’s next for her, she says let’s wait and see. “Well, life has taught me not to talk, wait and want things from the future, since you have to live day by day and the future will come,” Selva says.  Photography courtesy of Marcello Bravo for LittleCaprice-Dreams.com & Selva Lapiedra
