About this artwork
Rest Eternal portrays a solitary skeleton seated in quiet contemplation. Drawn in white charcoal on black paper, the stark contrast emphasizes the fragility and permanence of mortality. This piece reflects on the passage of life and the serenity that comes with acceptance, inviting viewers to confront and embrace their own impermanence. It’s a meditation on life’s fleeting beauty and the stillness that follows.

About the artist
Papayon is a contemporary artist whose work explores tension, irony, and spiritual resilience through figurative painting. Rooted in classical technique and driven by raw, contemporary urgency, his imagery moves between control and collapse — where symbols, animals, and human gestures become quiet acts of defiance. His practice draws from art history, personal narrative, and lived experience, favoring emotional impact over explanation. Each piece functions as a fragment of a larger story, inviting the viewer to linger, question, and return. Based in Houston, Papayon’s work has been exhibited internationally and collected across the U.S. and Mexico.
