Albena Nikolova Visual Artist
Data and contact details

I am a Bulgarian visual artist based in Rome, Italy. My skills are mainly centered around photography, photo retouch, illustration, and graphic and video design. I love both digital and analog and I excel working with mixed media. I began my artistic career in the fine arts faculty of my hometown in Bulgaria and then concentrated on graphic design and photography, earning a master's degree in Design, visual communication and multimedia at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". I have participated in numerous group exhibitions in Italy and several personal exhibitions in Slovenia and Rome. My works have been published in catalogs and magazines in Poland, Italy and England. In my artistic research I experiment with the fusion of digital techniques with analogical ones and photographic printing with silver and iron salts. I currently work as a creative graphic designer and photographer.
