Style prompt

The style is visionary modernist painting with prismatic radial color, monumental curving geometry and a bright distant vanishing point. Crisp parallel arcs pull the eye inward while visibly brushed rays fan across the upper field. Deep navy and black perimeter masses heighten a near-white central glow. Teal reflections and warm orange edges provide chromatic counterpoint. The square composition feels tunnel-like and forward moving, with infrastructural precision fused to theatrical color and luminous abstraction.

Full example prompt

A square visionary painting shows a dark curving roadway sweeping from the lower foreground toward a luminous city near the center. A huge elliptical arch frames the horizon, and long beams of white, yellow, pink, blue and green light radiate from a brilliant point among the distant towers. The road's parallel lanes bend smoothly around dark reflective water, carrying warm orange edges and cool teal reflections into the foreground. Slender towers stand as narrow silhouettes against the burst of light. The arch is thick and dark along its outer rim, giving the chromatic rays a strong enclosed stage. Beyond it, the sky is divided into long prismatic wedges that seem to converge on the city. The painting combines geometric control with visibly brushed color: crisp road curves contrast with streaky, layered rays and irregular dark side forms. Deep navy and black hold the outside of the composition while the center glows nearly white. The viewpoint is low and forward moving, as though the viewer approaches the city along the road. No pedestrians or vehicles are prominent; spatial motion and radiant color carry the narrative. The square frame intensifies the tunnel-like depth by bringing the arch close to every side. The atmosphere is utopian, theatrical and electrically charged, turning infrastructure and light into one sweeping visual rhythm.
