My name is Anna Kukleva, I’m an independent full-time freelance illustrator.

I work under the name Cactus Under Rainbow.

I am currently based in France, where I’ve been granted a residency through the Passport Talent program as a promising artist in exile. 

I’ve been working as a freelance artist for the past three years, collaborating with international clients on both business and personal projects. 

I love depicting my imagination within my art and working with others to create one-of-a-kind artwork. To tell you the truth its hard to describe in words what I do, why I do it, what’s the aim of my work. I guess I am just a human who loves create and share, follow my intuition and my passion.

I am a work in progress.

I like: sunny days, the 1970s, Joni Mitchell, Newport Folk Fest, art galleries, Los Angeles, old cars, folk music, words of love, smell of dust, Paris Texas (1984), looking at rocks and water, chamomile tea and Steve Irwin.
