## Prompt

```text
{
  "vibe_title_en": "Tactile Abstraction",
  "master_prompt": "Extreme close-up macro portrait of The Protagonist, transforming the human face into a living avant-garde canvas. The subject's skin is heavily textured with thick, impasto applications of physical acrylic paint in chaotic strokes of {color_1}, {color_2}, and {color_3}. Crucially, the paint must look physically wet and heavy, with visible cracks and ridges casting micro-shadows on the skin. The eyes remain untouched, sharp, and piercingly clear, creating a hyper-realistic focal point amidst the abstract colors. Shot on a Hasselblad H6D-100c with a 120mm f/4 Macro lens to capture individual skin pores beneath the drying paint. Lighting is a dramatic, high-contrast 'Rembrandt' setup that highlights the 3D topography of the paint strokes. Analog film aesthetic with the fine grain of Kodak Ektar 100. No digital painting effects; this is practical makeup FX photography.",
