Estacion del Tren S.C. de Bariloche (2005) vault

Estacion del Tren S.C. de Bariloche (2005) vaultAcrylic on canvas 24 x 30 in A quiet moment at the edge of movement. Wind bends the trees at the old train station while the mountains rise like a second sky behind it all. Painted during Halins early years in Patagonia, this piece holds the stillness of waiting and the sense that the next departure is always just around the bend. ProvenanceArtists Studio

but in the moment of being forgotten

where people and animals work the same waters and neither fully owns them

breaking the density with bursts of brightness and vibrant contrast

emotive strokes

Painted during Halin’s earlier years in Argentina

Bold sweeps of ochre and white echo the sculpting force of water

A young girl plays the guitar with quiet concentration

their movement echoing the pulse of the rainforest itself

blurring the line between objectification and self-possession

recording the landscape in a moment of violent change

Light pours through the opening ahead

The painting holds the overwhelming experience of being surrounded
