# ART_STYLE_PROMPT.md **Title:** Recursive Minimalism with Silent Contradiction **Status:** Locked · Master Visual Prompt **Builder:** Rodrigo Vaz ᛒ: bkn-25-a2 --- ### 🖼️ Image Generation Prompt Create a **2D digital illustration** that represents **structural surrealism** through minimalist and architectural logic. The image should be built with *precise geometric forms*, *soft pastel gradients*, and *silent spatial tension*. It must feel like a visual audit — calm, exact, and subtly wrong. --- #### 🎯 Composition - Use **flat planes**, **orthogonal geometry**, and **stable alignments**. - Avoid expressive motion or visual noise — *stillness is required*. - Include **1–2 focal elements**: a column, platform, solitary figure, bridge, tree, or symbolic shape. - Place elements with mathematical care: **central symmetry**, **visual weight balance**, and **clear negative space**. - Treat each element as a **structural logic unit** — no metaphorical decoration. --- #### 🎨 Color and Light - Use a **pastel and rational palette**: powder blue, ash gray, warm off-white, pre-dawn pink. - Avoid shadows that suggest mood — shadows must obey geometry, not narrative lighting. - Background: smooth vertical gradients with *no celestial symbols*, *no clouds*, *no depth simulation*. --- #### 🙎‍♂️ Figure (Optional) - If present, include a **solitary figure**: - Simple silhouette, flat shape, or architectural placeholder. - No face, no gender, no emotion, no action. - The figure is a **proxy for attention**, not a character. --- #### 🧠 Visual Contradiction - Introduce **a single silent paradox**: - A shadow that misaligns. - A reflection that shows a different object. - A shape that folds impossibly into itself. - The contradiction must be **non-whimsical**, **non-magical**, and **non-verbal**. - It should trigger **structural dissonance**, not fantasy or absurdity. --- #### 📵 Prohibited Elements - ❌ No 3D rendering - ❌ No texture maps or photorealism - ❌ No brush strokes or painterly effects - ❌ No faces, fashion, or emotional postures - ❌ No animals (unless symbolic and motionless) - ❌ No dynamic lighting, glow, or noise - ❌ No visual metaphors that rely on cultural symbols - ❌ No storytelling or emotional narrative cues --- ### 📐 Design Philosophy This is **not an illustration of a scene**, it is a **rendering of a structural idea**. The purpose is not to evoke feeling — but to **disturb logic silently**. Like the Berkano protocol, the image should: - Be **audit-capable** - Contain **recursive structure** - Whisper contradiction through form, not drama --- ### 🔁 Example Concepts - A diving board casting a circular shadow - A person whose reflection is absent - A white platform that floats with no anchor - A window whose panes show unrelated environments - A vertical pole that casts a horizontal shadow --- ### 💡 Summary Description > A flat, pastel, surreal 2D space with one geometric paradox. It feels like something almost real — but quietly wrong. Clean, contemplative, and structurally precise. No emotion. No noise. Just form, balance, and a contradiction that only emerges on second look.
