Today I explore the concept of authenticity within my artistic practice. I consider the influence of social media, good and bad, and how I attempt to stay true to myself in a space that can so easily influence and inspire.
In this interview that appeared in Issue 16 of Highsnobiety Magazine, we speak with artist Reginald Sylvester II on what it means to figure art out.
The series "Alone Together" delves into the intricate dynamics of relationships and intimacy, exploring the complexities that arise within human connections.

We explain the meaning of certain commonly-used words, phrases and terms in the context of oil painting.
About The Artwork I was born in 1973, and my parents were farmers. In 1999, I got enrolled into an art college with a dream of becoming an artist. I am currently a father, a husband, and a painter. The duality and struggle between a domestic life of being a parent and spouse with a working life became a subject matter to my work. My work expresses conflicts and emotions aroused from distinct social roles through figurative subjects that ranges from models and cartoon characters, to gods. For each piece, I start with a simple drawing on a canvas of a chosen figure/ image. Then, I go into a constant exploration of constructing and deconstructing the image with obsessive amount of acrylics or oils to ease out my emotions. I adapt myself and live out the society through such actions.

About The Artwork When I am walking around in the nature, by investigating my path and my creativity, there is suddenly a spark that catches my eyes, that I can reflect to its shapes, texture, and colors. this starts a creative process in me. Then I will search for a female figure with a unique mysterious look, which can be best for me to draw and to paint, so all together can be reflect out of this process. After the digital process I start a process that is more traditional, by using acrylic, ink, graphite, color pencil, aerosol paints, and whatever that is necessary for the final result. Then put an over varnish laqa to protect as necessary. My art is integrating the beauties of the nature with a mysterious femininity that wraps it.

Dayana II • Original oil and mixed media painting on wood panel • 30 x 40 inches Hand-signed by artist Danielle Coenen Letter of Authenticity
My town has the most charming ice cream shop. It’s painted in sherbet colors and has a rick-rack of gingerbread trim. I don’t indulge every day but enough to know the owners who winter in Florida each year. But our conversations are all too brief during the height of summer when a line snakes out past their picnic tables into a grove of trees. Still, the ice cream is rich and wonderful and worth the wait. Have you noticed how some things are most beautiful just before they disappear? Falling stars, brides who depart for exciting new lives, flowers, and of course, tender seasons that cannot last. Right now I am enjoying summer’s swan song – the air is warm and balmy and the sun is throwing stirring shadows and light; total eclipses notwithstanding. Knowing that summer must soon end, I find myself holding on to it for dear life. I love the plump native tomatoes in overflowing bins at the market. As my mother taught me, I eat them like apples as I sit on the front stoop watching juices flow down my arm. It’s ok because the garden hose is still unraveled in the side yard just as it always is until September – I’m a lazy hose-mistress to be sure. Every Friday, I buy a farm-style bouquet filled with sunflowers and violet asters along with spikes of golden rod and dried beach fronds. My rustic bouquets don’t last as long as the prim blush roses I bought in early summer, but the colors are as warm and bright as October sunshine. As well, I am getting the most from my liberating wardrobe. Making sure each morning I select knee-skimming skirts with sleeveless tops or pretty dresses with billowing potential should I still find myself still wearing it when I fetch the recycling bin at the bottom of the driveway every Wednesday night. As for perfume, I can’t stop spritzing my eau fraiche blend that I keep cool in the refrigerator. It’s light and airy and not yet too weak for summer’s final bow. My coral lipsticks, a watercolor silk scarf, and other accouterments still call out to me. I won’t rush the goodbye because the hello takes so long. I’m sure I will surrender when summer turns back just long enough to take a final bow. By then, I’ll be longing to light some candles against a dark sky and chilly wind. And it will seem odd to see the dried leaves flitting and falling on my garden hose. I’ll put that to bed along with the rattan furniture and the clay pots that are holding my spectacular geraniums and begonias which have never looked more gorgeous as they do right now in their vivid hues of reds and pink. They seem to bloom over and over and over, like the last dazzling firework on July 4th. I’ll miss the crickets and frogs which lull me to sleep and the dove that coos from a distance late in the morning. I’ll miss the cold gazpacho I finally mastered and the watermelon and corn. But summer will really be over when the little pastel ice cream shop finally shutters its windows and closes its doors. They’ll put out the scratchy homemade sign that reminds us they will be back next summer. And each year…I try to believe them. (Top image by Trent Gudmundsen)

A beautiful expanse of unencumbered nature stands guarded inside a wide-mouthed bullfrog, while a seaside city burns with brilliant flames in the fabric of a heroine’s dress.

Monica Rohan paints self-portraits in which she is eternally hiding behind and searching within vibrant, patterned textiles and luscious, green plants. The Australian artist is inspired by her own "rural-idyll" childhood and the "internal longing of the 19th century novel." Her characters express these investigations through a sentiment of both innocent play and anxious isolation. Forests and flowers, dresses and blankets become extensions of her characters' physical and psychological beings. By always concealing the women's faces, Rohan relies on body language to convey the characters' emotional states. For example, some characters are seen from a birds-eye view, curled with their heads burrowed in patchwork quilts. Others thrash and dance; the movement causing the women's outer dresses to become indistinguishable from their physical forms.
Soft, billowing clothing and a relaxed character form the center of Silent Dreams by French artistic duo Sacrée Frangine. Exploring the beauty of quiet everyday situations, this motif presents an understated approach to form and subject – soft strokes of paint in blue, white and brown bring together the composition. A sense of calm is created within an art print that contains the expressive and tactile qualities of paint on canvas. Sacrée Frangine is a creative duo based between Paris and South France. They explore shapes and colour palettes to create simplified narratives and compositions. Their work expresses the beauty of everyday things through a minimalist and pleasing aesthetic.
