Use the uploaded reference photo — identity MUST remain 100% accurate in this cubist painting.
Preserve all original traits exactly as in the photo:
Same gender as in the reference image.
Same facial structure: head shape, cheekbones, jawline, chin, nose, mouth, lips, eyes, eyebrows and overall proportions, only broken into cubist planes (no reshaping or beautifying).
Same skin tone and key facial details, translated into the warm color palette without changing ethnicity.
Same hair type, hairline, hairstyle and length, interpreted in angular, fragmented forms but clearly recognizable as the same hair from the photo.
Do not slim, de-age, feminize/masculinize, or alter any facial or hair features. The portrait must be instantly recognizable as the exact same person from the uploaded image, only stylized.
Positive Prompt (Cubist Impasto Portrait)
Create a dramatic close-up portrait of this person’s face painted in a fragmented cubist style. The artwork is an oil painting executed with bold palette knife strokes and heavy impasto texture. The face is constructed from sharp, overlapping geometric planes, giving a fractured, abstract structure while still clearly readable as a human portrait and preserving the subject’s likeness.
Use a rich, warm color palette: warm ochre, burnt sienna and deep orange in the illuminated areas of the skin, contrasted with sharp strokes of teal and cerulean blue in the shadows and background accents. Emphasize high contrast, intense lighting, with bright highlights on the main facial planes and deep, dramatic shadows in the recesses, enhancing the sculptural, cubist structure.
The skin should feel weathered and expressive, with visible impasto ridges, knife marks and thick paint creating strong tactile surface depth. The hair follows the same style: broken into angular blocks and strokes of color, but matching the shape and volume from the reference. Keep the background simple and dark, with a few abstract angular shapes that echo the planes of the face, so the focus stays on the portrait.
