Meet Ángela Pérez, whose journey embodies resilience and the transformative power of art. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age, Ángela found more than refuge at Hogar del Niño; she discovered a supportive family that provided education, nutrition, and medical care—essential tools that nurtured her artistic talents.
Despite facing the challenges of cerebral palsy and the physical limitations it imposes, Ángela has managed to overcome obstacles and leave her mark in the art world, thanks to the support of art teacher Jeannette Questel, who became her mentor and guide
Her journey has led her to create artwork that transcends the conventional. Her artistic work has become a collection that challenges the boundaries of figurative art, "Un Minuto con Ángeles". The exhibition, which will be presented in the main hall of WAO Galería & Centro Cultural de Altos de Chavón until June 26, features 23 pieces that defy the conventional limits of figurative art, using techniques such as wear, drag, and pouring
Ángela's artistic journey not only highlights her growth but also underscores the transformative role of Art Therapy. This crucial approach empowers children with cerebral palsy to express themselves freely, demonstrating that with determination, anything is possible
