We admire Albena’s sublime artworks. Her artwork is unique and different. Her art tell stories, dreams and relationships.
“When I was young, I happened to be sad; I dreamed of a magic wand to recreate the world. The years passed and I still felt that something was missing – a little love, magic. One day, I went searching all far beyond the mountains and rivers, in another country, land of art and friendship. ” ─ Albena Vatcheva
“Albena is a young French artist of Bulgarian origin who advances in a spectacular way. Her painting is the heiress of various traditions, including that of masters of the icon. Using different oriental sources, she has created a world of troubling fairy, which exercises a true fascination over the eye, so much her glowing colors create magic. Tender, loving, her characters live in a world of peace, harmony and mutual consolation.
Let us not forget that poetry was her first passion. Albena lives in the parallel universe of tales, of big universal legends, of invincible childhood and enjoys an outstanding sensibility. The ease and the elegance she has acquired allow her to express a wide range of feelings. Spiritual and sensual, she is undoubtedly only at the dawn of more than a promising journey. We have here an authentic talent, especially considering her recent admission into the sphere of painting.”
Like most people from Eastern countries, Albena is intensely inward-focused, a soul searcher. Sensitive to the suffering of others, her childhood dream was to become a doctor – and art is another means of bringing gentleness and hope into the life of others. Using color in her “organic and psychic” actions, to use Deunov’s expression, Albena introduces us to a violence-free world, oneiric, luminous, filled with love and compassion, yet not removed from reality or fantasy.

With Albena, light is omnipresent, making the characters transparent, as if filled with an invincible spiritual force that does not, however, eliminate sadness or introduction. Yet her works bring enchantment to the present.
