Antonio Alonso: Aqua Hummingbird snails combined with the careful carving

combined with the careful carving of the hands

adding texture and life as if she’s just broken through the ocean’s surface

Carolina's painting shifts into cool blue feathers broken by twin sunburst patches on the wings

The bright coloring is superb

ready to sound the deep ceremonial call that once opened sacred rites across Mesoamerica
