Style prompt

Monumental frontal shapes are compressed into a tight frame and divided by broad, uneven black seams. Burnt red, golden yellow, cream, and deep blue-black sit beside one another like worn pieces of colored glass. Thick paint is scraped and scumbled, leaving mottled texture within simple angular planes. The warm patches seem internally lit, while the cool black areas give weight and solemnity. Large verticals and narrow dark openings organize the upper field; lower forms sink into dense shadow. Slight asymmetry in hue and angle keeps the arrangement tense. The surface recalls stained glass and weathered fresco, expressive and tactile rather than smoothly modeled.

Full example prompt

A tightly cropped expressionist painting fills the frame with two monumental faces placed side by side. The face at left turns slightly toward the viewer with one amber eye near the upper edge; the face at right looks forward with a cooler dark eye. Heavy black strokes make a vertical seam between them and shape the long angular noses, narrowed mouths, and dark hollows. Burnt red, golden yellow, cream, and deep blue-black patches sit in the faces like pieces of colored glass. There is almost no surrounding space, so the paired gazes and asymmetry carry all the tension.

The paint is thick, rough, and visibly layered. Black contours are broad and uneven rather than clean graphic outlines, while color inside them is scraped, scumbled, and mottled. Light seems to glow from within the warm patches, not from a realistic source; the blue-black regions keep the forms weighty and somber. Shapes remain simple and frontal, but small differences in angle and hue prevent symmetry from becoming static. The top of the composition is crowded by the eyes, and the lower faces dissolve into dark paint at the bottom edge. The surface evokes stained glass and worn fresco at once, solemn and human, with no legible lettering in the selected image.
