El 22 (2012) Original artOil on canvas32 x 32 in A dusty street, thick with heat and late day light. Children move through the haze, laughter cutting through the quiet. Painted from memory, this piece captures not just a moment, but the feeling of it the weight of the shade, the rhythm of routine, the warmth of a place lived in. ProvenanceArtists Studio

The moment is calm but charged — the routine of harvest unfolding under the steady presence of the wild
collapsing the space between viewer and subject
The gesture hovers between tenderness and control
The painting unfolds as a private world — an intimate moment of pause inside the wilderness
but community: the season shifting is felt not through mountains or rivers
but the feeling of it — the weight of the shade
and the deep blues of worn fabric
this work captures the tangled intimacy of the forest just beyond his Bariloche studio
The painting celebrates ordinary life without diminishing its scale
Painted during Halin’s early years in Patagonia
capturing the volatile psychology of northern nightlife
