TIRANA, Nov 18 /ATA/ – By Bledi Naska/ The young painter Daklea Boja has staged an exhibition in the premises of Tirana castle these days. Her passion for painting rose above all challenges she had to endure in her life.
Daklea set out to paint at the age of 10 so at the age of 20 she has amassed a rich collection to exhibit and showcase the strength of her passion.
The talented young painter who suffers from epilepsy is always surrounded by people who believe in her skills. Social worker Anjeza Kolami says that Daklea is a child with special needs, diagnosed at the age of five with epilepsy and as a result of this disease she has visual and hearing impairment to the extent of 50 percent. Her health problems are compounded by the fact that 8 months ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Against all the odds, her passion for painting has triumphed. Daklea sees her desire to paint as a special way to communicate with the world. Through her art and the exhibition she has opened these days, she aims to heal her troubled soul.
Sociologist Anjeza Kolami says that “we should support and encourage all artists in general, especially these children and youngsters with special needs. They need a helping hand throughout their challenging journey but also more attention to their true values.
