Papayon BIO


Growing up, the artist Roberto F. Salmon had a hard time finding ways to express himself. He would work with pretty much any media and often found himself drawing on the backs of schoolbooks, desks, and even clothing. He later took formal art classes at The University of Arizona, but professionally he settled on a different path altogether. Meanwhile, he would visit every museum and exhibition he could find, and before long, a side career and a pseudonym were born.

Papayon´s art speaks to me very deeply. I love his irreverent pieces full of color, love, reality, and dreams!!
I have 12 pieces and will get more! I´m so proud of such a fantastic Latino artist.
