Congratulations, Paulina ! ! ! Your performance was so wonderful and captivating !! The synthesis of various cultural influences involving Indigenous, various Mythologies and native animal expression interpolating with the anchor of the violin was really quite dramatically stunning and was an experience we still remember with the immediacy of the moment ! ! !

In the multidisciplinary concert “Four Visions”, the artist, employing her vast resources with orchestral acumen, invites the audience to reflect on the origins of sound. There lies her artistic vision: a reconfiguration of sound and execution, propounding that a human being is sound, and beyond sound, s/he is also art. The combination of different vocal and musical elements that consolidate her performance is precisely the aesthetic quest for transcendence. Trained as a classical violinist, Master Derbez inaugurates a new tendency that, from a multiple vision, sets the foundation for contemporary cultural expression. Hence, the artist envisioned sound as “Four Visions,” four cardinal points, four seasons or the unity of a cycle like the image of an unending Ouroboros.
