Color: The color palettes are intentionally restricted and feature bold, often contrasting, combinations of saturated hues, such as vibrant oranges, reds, teals, blues, and yellows, against darker backgrounds. Colors are applied in distinct blocks or with subtle texture, creating a strong graphic effect and emphasizing the symbolic nature of the elements. The limited palette forces a focus on the relationship between the chosen colors and the shapes they define, contributing to the deliberate and artistic feel.
Lighting: Lighting is primarily graphic and interpretive, defined by the interplay of color blocks and the inherent luminosity of certain hues against the darker tones. While some images imply a light source (like the glow on the face), the emphasis is not on realistic rendering of light and shadow. The lighting serves to highlight specific forms or create a sense of atmosphere and depth within the stylized framework.
Design Technique: The styles emphasize simplified yet evocative forms, striking compositions, and the juxtaposition of disparate subjects in surreal scenarios (e.g., flowers merging with a face, an animal in human clothing, symbolic objects within abstract settings). There is a focus on creating visual metaphors and symbolic narratives through the arrangement of elements. The technique blends illustrative rendering with graphic design principles, resulting in images that are both visually strong and conceptually rich. The styles convey a sense of intrigue, psychological exploration, artistic intention, and a departure from conventional visual storytelling.
