Mikhail Larionov style reference and prompts

This avant-garde painted style turns recognizable forms into interlocking angular fragments without losing the overall directional flow. Saturated cadmium yellow, crimson, cobalt, teal, cream, and smoky violet overlap in irregular patches, with navy and black supplying strong dark anchors. Broad opaque strokes and crisp triangular breaks make the surface tactile and active; outlines are partial, often replaced by a color boundary. Light is carried by warm pale planes and intense yellow rather than a single realistic source, while cool dark fragments open shallow recesses. Diagonal bands pass through a crowded field of smaller shapes, creating syncopated movement and little empty space. The resulting effect is energetic, mosaic-like, and boldly modern.

A square avant-garde painting centers a man and woman seated close together within a crowded mosaic of angular color. The background is packed with overlapping fragments of blue, yellow, red, white, brown, and black; partial figures appear at the upper left and right but are not separated from the busy surface by clear depth. At center-left, the man turns toward the woman, his face drawn in profile through pale ochre and gray planes. He wears a dark blue vest or jacket over a loose white shirt, with black lower clothing dissolved into surrounding shapes. One arm bends up near his shoulder, while the other hand lies low in his lap. At center-right, the woman faces him in a slight profile. Red and blue paint forms short dark hair or a close head covering, and pale pink-white tones shape her face and neck. Her bright yellow bodice and skirt occupy much of the lower right, crossed by orange, cream, violet, and blue patches. Her hands rest together in front of her. Behind them, bits of other heads and costume-like color interrupt the background, suggesting a lively gathering without a single clear room. The figures remain identifiable through their face-to-face placement, yet their garments and surroundings share the same fractured brushwork. Short broad strokes, hard triangular intersections, and irregular opaque patches expose an energetic painted surface. Light is not tied to a natural source; luminous cream facial planes and saturated yellow areas stand forward while navy and black fragments make pockets of shadow. The diagonal ribbons of warm color weave through cooler blue structures. The overall composition is rhythmic and crowded, balancing the central human exchange with an all-over pattern of broken color and overlapping forms.
