Taras Loboda style reference and prompts

The image has an expressionist oil-painted surface built from thick, blunt slabs of pigment, scraped streaks, and fractured edges. Vermilion and crimson collide with dense charcoal-black, while cool ivory and pale gray provide abrupt islands of light. Rather than smooth gradients, the volume emerges through hard neighboring color patches and directional strokes; a few small polished details sharpen the focus inside the rougher whole. The dark areas absorb space, and the light areas seem pressed forward against the picture plane. Illumination reads as a concentrated frontal strike with strong lateral falloff, though the painted texture remains more prominent than optical realism. Large angular masses fill the frame with little negative space. The overall effect is intense, tactile, and confrontational.

A square expressionist oil painting fills the frame with an extreme close-up of a woman's face, built from forceful red, black, and white paint. The top edge cuts through the forehead and dark brows; the lower edge touches the chin, leaving no separate setting or full figure. Her two amber-gold eyes occupy the upper third, looking slightly upward and outward beneath heavy black lids. The left side of the face almost disappears into a dense charcoal shape, while vermilion strokes carve out cheek and temple. Across the center, thick ivory and cool pale-gray paint forms the nose and the broad illuminated plane of the right cheek. Its border is jagged where red and black strokes cut into it. The nostril is a compact black mark with a narrow warm rim. Beneath it, bright crimson lips part enough to reveal a thin dark line, their edges defined by thick raised strokes rather than a smooth contour. The lower right is made of angular pale gray, white, and red patches that suggest the turn of jaw and chin. Brush marks remain blunt and visible everywhere: short scraped streaks, broad palette-knife-like slabs, and small flecks interrupt the color fields. There is little conventional depth or background; the face is compressed close to the surface, and the drama comes from adjacent areas of intense color. Light appears to strike the central ivory plane from the front-left, while the opposite side recedes into black and red shadow. Sharp golden eyes are the most precisely observed features within the rough painterly construction. No legible writing appears. The overall composition makes the gaze and mouth the focal points of a confrontational, high-contrast arrangement of heated red, cool white, and deep black.
