Prompt:
Masterpiece, a dramatic multi-block woodcut and linocut print in the style of Wayang Kulit shadow puppetry, infused with the sublime grandeur of Caspar David Friedrich and the surreal texture of Max Ernst. The scene depicts a pivotal moment from the Ramayana with Sita and Rama. Their figures are rendered as elegant, sharp silhouettes defined by a powerful, black key block, emulating the perforated leather of traditional puppets. The composition is a perfectly balanced, monumental tableau. Rama stands with noble poise, while Sita is depicted with graceful curvature, their forms creating a striking contrast against a backdrop of textured, organic shapes reminiscent of Ernst's decalcomania. Harsh, dramatic light cuts across the scene, carved as sharp, negative space lines that illuminate the figures and create long, symbolic shadows. The palette is a profound contrast of deep, saturated indigo and vibrant emerald green, applied in flat, bold fields reminiscent of Affandi Kusuma's expressive watercolor strokes. Layers of complex carving suggest the intricate patterns of Wayang Kulit, while the overall mood is one of mythic tension and divine presence, achieved through the raw, graphic power of the printed line. Graphic style, linocut, woodcut, high-contrast, bold outlines, flat colors, symbolic, dramatic lighting, textured, stylistic, Wayang Kulit inspired.
