Al Perez
Al Perez has a touch that is definitely his own, noted from his meticulous and realistic rendition of old churches. He has recorded every important church in the country. He has completed considerable research and traveling, painting hundreds of churches from one end of the country to the other. He is acknowledged aquarelle master of baroque churches.
 The
work of Al Perez is not devoted exclusively to churches. His creative
realm includes Philippine rural scenes, houses, portraits, nudes and
flowers. Many art critics have provided generous praises for the fine,
lyrical lines and colors Al incorporates into his paintings, taking
note of the artist's superb real treatment of his subject and the
romantic element of his artistry.
