August Mond is the artist pseudonym of Roland A. Schwarz. Across serial worlds — SUVIN, REANA, DARIN — he combines narrative figures, humour and depth into “social fiction”: art made to carry a room rather than decorate it. His work is released as limited masterpieces and as affordable, open editions, sold directly via augustmond.com, without a gallery middleman. The paintings are made by hand, without AI.

Human Intelligence
August Mond creates all of his paintings and stories himself, without AI. The creative processes behind his paintings are documented through numerous preliminary stages. His primary tools are a fountain pen, a sketchbook, Wacom tablets, and Affinity Photo Version 2. This distinction is not meant to be a judgment on the use of AI in art! It is simply how August Mond works.
Artificial Intelligence
August Mond uses AI for in-situ images, marketing, experiments, and all sorts of tasks around his actual artistic work.
