Yiannis Moralis style reference and prompts

Use a restrained modernist language of opaque, dry paint and lightly grained surfaces. Reduce volumes to interlocking flat planes with crisp verticals, horizontal bands, selective curves, and hard-edged cast shadows. Work in dusty and deep blues, charcoal, warm gray, cream, and a few muted ocher accents. Let cool daylight be expressed through tonal blocks and silhouetted overlaps instead of smooth gradients. Keep the spatial construction shallow but legible, with repeated geometric rhythms, carefully balanced negative spaces, and quiet tactile brush texture.

A square modernist painting arranges a tabletop still life before a broad window and a blue sea. The foreground table is a pale rectangular plane tipped toward the viewer, holding a shallow blue bowl at the left, two round yellow fruits near its center, and a dark cup with a saucer at the front edge. Behind them, several slender bottles rise in black, slate blue, and muted cream. One broad dark bottle carries a small cream oval that catches the light, while another pale bottle has a long angular neck. A stemmed glass and a small cup stand to the right. All objects are reduced to firm contours and blocks of color; their shadows flatten into sharp blue-black shapes that connect the vessels to the tabletop. Vertical window bars divide the upper half into compartments. Beyond them, two large pale half circles hover above a deep blue horizontal band of water, with a thin light vessel or rail near the horizon. The wall and window recesses alternate between charcoal, dusty blue, off-white, and warm gray. Texture is dry and gently streaked, like opaque paint worked over a lightly grained surface. Edges are mostly straight and decisive, yet the circles of fruit, bowl, and arches soften the strict grid. Light reads as cool daylight from the opening, indicated by cream highlights and dark interior silhouettes rather than atmospheric modeling. The composition feels measured and quiet: repeated verticals hold the scene upright, and the broad horizontal sea line gives the tightly fitted still life depth.
