## Prompt

```text
A contemporary expressive {art_style} style with bold, dynamic brushwork and semi-abstract realism. Visible, confident brush strokes in layered patches and broken color blocks, blending figurative portraiture with painterly abstraction. Rich warm palette dominated by {color_palette}, contrasted with subtle cool accents of olive green and desaturated teal. Loose, gestural application with thick and thin strokes interwoven, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. Edges shift between soft blended transitions and sharp painterly marks. Light is {lighting}, creating glowing skin tones with luminous highlights. Background and subject merge through color harmony and directional strokes, giving a slightly impressionistic, unfinished yet intentional aesthetic. Textural depth resembling oil on canvas, with visible layering and painterly surface variation.
