Voyageurs Dream (2025) metamorphosisOil on canvas30 40 in A surreal meeting of eras: a reclining stone like figure watches as a canoe of voyageurs fights upriver, their paddles cutting through the current with urgency and purpose. The scene collapses time the living and the legendary sharing the same water suggesting that history isnt past, but something still moving through the land.

Provenance

The forest becomes emotional terrain — both sheltering and raw — capturing the charged stillness of late winter when the land is shifting but not yet released

Oil on canvas48 x 32 in

The landscape feels unstable beneath the hooves

laughter cutting through the quiet

Painted during Halin’s early years in Patagonia

and flying

Selva captures the power of Iguazú Falls from the humid heart of the jungle

when the world briefly softens and slows

glowing against the deep greens and shadowed stone behind it

A quiet drive into the light

where a small red shack sits tucked between forest and water
