Style prompt

Use unruly expressionist impasto with thick ridges, knife smears, scraped ground, splashes, and scratched linear marks. Organize the composition around one oversized curling color mass, then let smaller fragments collide around it without clean borders. Set hot lemon yellow and ocher against sky blue, chalk white, dark navy, green, and occasional red-orange. Keep paint visibly physical and directional; some marks turn inward in arcs while others burst outward. Let recognizable hints emerge from color collisions but remain ambiguous. Avoid smooth blending, strict symmetry, and resolved contour. The effect is energetic, tactile, improvisational, and slightly comic, with the rough painted surface carrying as much meaning as any inferred form.

Full example prompt

A square expressionist painting fills the entire frame with a turbulent, nearly abstract mass of thick color. A huge yellow spiral-like form turns across the upper right and center, its curved ridges suggesting the side of an imaginary creature. Near its middle sits one conspicuous round eye-like mark: a dark blue and black center surrounded by pale cream, ocher, and a thin reddish ring. Smaller broken forms in green, white, orange, and dark navy gather at the left and bottom, hinting at a snout, open mouth, or limbs without settling into a literal anatomy. The background alternates between scraped sky blue and chalky off-white, with bare flecks of ground showing through. Paint is laid on in heavy, directional strokes, broad knife smears, short dragged arcs, splatters, and scratched thin lines. The yellow area is built from several tones, ranging from lemon to deep ocher; blue and green passages keep it from becoming flat. Some strokes curl inward, others slash outward, so the visual motion feels both circular and explosive. There is no smooth contour separating figure and background. Instead, adjacent colors collide, overlap, and tear apart. The surface is rough and almost relief-like, with visible ridges and embedded flecks. There is no text or framing device inside the panel. The composition feels impulsive, humorous, and unruly, inviting the viewer to discover a face in the paint without requiring one stable interpretation.
