About

Hi, I’m Anna Fraiese — aka annaeffe — a Neapolitan illustrator with a love for bold colors, clean lines, and a touch of surreal nostalgia.

I work in editorial illustration using both digital and traditional techniques. My background in graphic design taught me structure; drawing gave me freedom — now I mix both to create images that feel like quiet stories.

After a few years in Communication — crafting brands, campaigns and ads — I decided to follow my real passion. I swapped briefs for brushes and never looked back. Why? Because I believe that with passion, discipline, and a bit of stubbornness, you can turn what you love into what you do — and finally say goodbye to those soul-sucking, duty-only workdays.

My illustrations aim to capture moments suspended between reality and imagination — where rules bend, time slows down, and the ordinary becomes quietly magical.

I’m available for commissions, collaborations, or just a good creative chat. Got a project in mind? Drop me a line at info@annaeffe.it
