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 artist whose background in business, political science, and visual communication profoundly shapes his symbolic figurative paintings and mixed-media works. He employs traditional oil painting fused with materials like cotton paper, synthetic substrates, encaustic wax, concrete, gold leaf, and custom frames to create conceptually rich objects within series that investigate the American West and human behavior. His distinctive style balances familiar imagery—horses, riders, firearms—in scenes of unresolved tension, inviting viewers to question power and identity. Papayon’s art radiates psychological complexity and open-ended emotion, evoking negotiation, vulnerability, and the fragility of control.
