Surrounding this dominant central figure with a baby balanced comfortably on her…

Vivaldi: Violin Concerto in D Major
“Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, her homeland too informs the worlds she creates in her work. “I grew up in a country of natural splendor, of lustrous colors and rhythms, of warm people, a rich culture and history,” she says. “But it’s also a land of breathtaking violence and disparities of wealth.” Now based…
