The Recuerdo (Remembrance) artwork features distinctive visual language that Romero often revisits, including the winding highways of Los Angeles. The composition emulates the artist’s idea that Boyle Heights and L.A. as a whole during his childhood was a “polyglot culture,” this is the narrative that he showcases in Recuerdo. In the unique artwork, a soldier and a woman stand side by side. At the same time, a jet airplane flies over them, depicting the post-war America Romero was raised in, while on the other side, the artist depicts a different, earlier period with a cactus plant and the Virgen de Guadalupe under the cover of palm trees. Romero understands landscapes “as a sort of womb, as a circle, and a stage where I place various events. A commentary on life.” - Margarita Nieto, "Conversation with the artist: Frank Romero." Latin American Art (1991). Recuerdo is also the model for the large tile mural at the Warner Center in Los Angeles, a significant commission honoring the city's diverse cultures and the evolving Los Angeles cityscape.
