About this artwork
Recordare is part of Requiem, an ongoing series exploring memory, consequence, and the emotional landscape that remains after conflict.
Two Dobermans pursue a fleeing hare across an undefined field of crimson, yet the painting resists becoming a literal hunting scene. Instead, the animals function as symbolic presences, suggesting the fears, memories, and unresolved experiences that continue to follow long after the decisive moment has passed.
…
Borrowing its title from the Recordare movement of the traditional Requiem Mass, the work reflects on remembrance not as nostalgia, but as an enduring force that shapes identity. Some memories offer guidance; others continue the pursuit long after the danger itself has disappeared.
Rather than asking whether escape is possible, Recordare invites viewers to consider how memory itself can become both the hunter and the companion carried throughout life.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Papayon is a Mexican-American contemporary artist based in Houston whose work explores the tension between certainty and uncertainty. Rather than resolving narratives, his paintings leave them deliberately open, allowing meaning to shift with the viewer.
Across bodies of work including Rules of Engagement, Falling, Constructed Relics, and Requiem, Papayon examines negotiation, memory, power, resilience, and human behavior through a contemporary reworking of Western imagery and symbolism.
Working primarily in oil, he incorporates encaustic wax, gold leaf, concrete, paper, unconventional supports, and custom-built frames when the work demands it. His practice has been presented in exhibitions in the United States and Mexico, and his works are held in private collections internationally.
For Papayon, a painting is not meant to provide an answer, but to remain unresolved in the viewer’s mind.
