Start from total abstraction. Do NOT represent recognizable human figures. The source image should be used only as a base of movement, rhythm and color distribution, never as a figurative reference. Transform the scene into a fully abstract painting where any sense of bodies, masks or costumes is only suggested through motion, density and color, never explicitly visible. The composition should feel like a ritual in motion, expressed through overlapping strokes, splashes, drips and chaotic textures inspired by abstract expressionism and action painting. Use aggressive, energetic brushstrokes and paint splatters in the style of Jackson Pollock, combined with rough, gestural marks reminiscent of de Kooning. Shapes dissolve into one another. No clear outlines. No readable faces. No defined anatomy. The background becomes an abstract nocturnal rural atmosphere: deep blues, blacks, muted greens and earthy tones, blended and fractured like layers of old paint. Introduce fire and sparks as abstract painterly elements: glowing stains, scratched lines, burning color accents floating through the canvas, never literal flames. The final image must feel like a large-scale abstract painting, raw and physical, with visible texture, paint thickness, accidents and imperfections. Emotional, ritualistic, violent, primal — but non-figurative. Absolutely no photographic realism.
A group of men in traditional Portuguese carnival costumes with ornate blue bicorne hats, masks, colorful ties, and pom-poms on calves are walking on a grey cobblestone street. The man in front wears a green blazer, a white shirt, a colorful tie with red, orange, yellow, and green stripes, a wide green belt tied with a red and yellow ribbon, and white puffy knickerbockers. He has a carved dark wood mask with a red nose, green pom-pom cheeks, and a black beard with a smiling mouth, and his hat has a prominent cheetah head and gold chain detailing. He is holding a walking stick. The other men are dressed similarly, some in yellow blazers and some in green, with masks depicting various facial expressions and hats topped with different animal figures such as a black bull or a white sheep. Their calves are adorned with red and green pom-poms over white patterned tights, and they wear black dress shoes. The background features a white building with several green wooden doors and a metal staircase on the right. A narrow green grassy strip with colorful flowers separates the sidewalk from the street.
