The Ride of Resilience — Original artwork by Papayon – Mixed media encaustic on canvas

Cowboy grit meets wild instinct.

In The Ride of Resilience, Papayon stages an improbable duel: a cowboy atop a rhino, holding on for more than just survival—holding on for purpose. This is no fantasy. It’s a mirror of life’s unrelenting force and the resolve it demands.

Crafted in mixed media and encaustic, the texture itself feels like a struggle—rough, unpredictable, alive. The vast backdrop offers no escape, only the challenge of staying mounted.

This piece reminds us that resilience isn’t quiet—it charges. And sometimes, the beast we ride is our own fear.
