Ran Ortner style reference and prompts

The painting combines physically detailed liquid motion with calm rectilinear spatial structure. Muted green-gray, warm stone, and foamy ivory form broad opposing masses; bright textured crests push against darker recesses. Long, curving strokes and broken froth make motion visible, while straight receding lines and repeated openings hold a stable perspective. Soft overhead illumination catches spray and raised ridges, leaving sheltered depths almost black. Smooth reflective passages alternate with thick turbulent texture, and atmospheric haze bridges the two. The overall effect is monumental and immersive, with realistic spatial cues making a surreal scale change feel tangible.

A square-framed surreal painting shows a massive ocean wave flooding an empty interior hall, the selected scene stretching across the upper part of the reference. At the far left, a cream-colored wall and dark open doorway establish an ordinary room, with brown wooden floorboards running across the lower foreground. Beyond that dry edge, gray-green water rises sharply into a curling wave whose pale foamy crest glows near the upper center. The wave rolls from the left background toward the middle and then sweeps through a long hall to the right, where a second wall of whitewater crashes against the distant side. A stone-colored arcade with dark arch openings runs down the central axis of the building, partly swallowed by the water. Above it, high windows and a gridded pale ceiling recede toward the back, making the building's perspective clear even as the ocean distorts its floor. Water spreads across the lower middle in layered sheets, with broken white foam and darker channels tracing its movement. The wave surface is painted with narrow sweeping strokes, translucent green-gray depths, and thick creamy highlights along the turbulent edge. Light pours through the upper windows and haze, illuminating spray from behind and leaving the arches almost black. The scale of the wave overwhelms the architecture, yet the precise doorway, beams, and arches make the impossible event feel physically located. No people or readable signs appear in the chosen scene. The overall composition is a tense collision of ordered interior geometry and wild liquid motion, held in muted stone, sea green, and foamy ivory.
