Thiago Valdi style reference and prompts

Combine realistically legible focal features with a thick overlay of abstract, high-chroma painted fragments. Work in angular strokes, scraped lines, translucent smears, and layered impasto; let some marks follow underlying form while others cut across it. Use turquoise, cobalt, violet, magenta, orange, yellow, and emerald in bold near-complementary collisions, with dark hair or shadow holding the edges. Preserve a few quiet pale passages so the viewer can orient around the focal features. Crop very close, making texture and expression equally important. Light should lift selected planes through the color rather than flatten the surface into a uniform pattern. The transferable effect is a fusion of intimate realism and restless chromatic abstraction, with the gaze or another precise detail acting as a stable anchor.

A square extreme close portrait fills the frame with a young woman's face turned slightly toward the right. Her gray-green eyes look up and past the viewer, one near the upper-left center and the other near the upper-right corner. Dark brows and a strong nose remain realistically legible beneath irregular fields of saturated paint. Her softly closed lips sit near the lower center. Dark hair crowds the right edge and the upper corners, while the left side of her face and neck are almost submerged in intersecting color. Vivid turquoise, cobalt, violet, magenta, yellow, orange, and green are applied as angular fragments, broad strokes, thin scratched lines, and translucent smears. Some strokes follow the planes of cheek and forehead; others cross them diagonally without obeying anatomy. A small area of pale skin around the nose, eyes, and mouth keeps the expression readable. The background is little more than a sliver of light at the right edge. Light appears to fall from the front right, lifting the nose and cheek while the opposite side holds deeper purples and blues. The surface has thick brush ridges and scraped, layered marks alongside smoother skin. The crop is deliberately tight, cutting off the chin and top of the head. The image balances an intimate realistic gaze with an energetic abstract skin of color, making the eyes the still center of an otherwise restless painted field.
