Welcome to my little creative world
Little things
worth slowing down for.
A flower from the garden. An old piece of paper. A colour you can’t stop thinking about. Small beginnings can become something lovely.

“There is a whole world
in the things we almost walk past.”
Hello, I’m Bia
An artist.
A collector of
little wonders.
I’m Bia, a Brazilian illustrator and surface pattern designer based in France. My work is inspired by nature, nostalgia, and the quiet details of everyday life.
My name is Fabiana, but growing up, I was Ana or Aninha to my aunt. Fabiana usually meant she was being serious about something. My cousin called me Bia, and that’s the name that stayed with me.
Ana Banana Studio brings a little of that childhood into my creative life. Ana is a name full of affection and memories, and Banana gives it a playful rhyme that makes me smile. It feels right for a place where I can gather the things I love and share what I make.
Whether you know me as Ana, Bia, or Fabiana, I’m happy you’re here.
Say hello ↗With love, Bia
