Sharon Pérez (La Paz, Bolivia. 1989) reside en La Paz, Bolivia.

Ella, activista perteneciente al pueblo afroboliviano, visualiza a través del arte una noción e imagen cultural particular. Los convierte en protagonistas estéticos y principales, resaltando las características físicas específicas, únicas y hermosas como el color de la piel y el cabello con fuertes contrastes de luz y oscuridad. La artista utiliza materiales, puertas y ventanas y ropa utilizada en bailes como la Saya, la Chiguanita y la Zemba, para expresar metafóricamente el día a día del pueblo representado.

Sharon Pérez (La Paz, Bolivia. 1989) is based in La Paz, Bolivia.

She visualizes through art a particular cultural notion and image. As an activist for the Afro-Bolivian people as aesthetic and main protagonists, which have specific, unique and beautiful physical features such as skin color and hair with strong contrasts of light and dark, the artist uses materials, doors and windows and clothing used in dances such as the Saya, the Chiguanita and the Zemba, in order to metaphorically express day in and day out of the people represented. The paintings acquire their own personification through the process.
