Sky, Water, and a Tree, Lex Halakan, 2025, oil, 6 x 6 in. / 15.24 x 15.24 cm.

My new 6x6” oil painting, Sky, Water, and a Tree #1, explores a solitary tree formed by tangled, dark strokes set against a swirling, textured landscape. It’s a study in tension and energy, where muted tones meet vibrant touches to create a dramatic, otherworldly presence.
