Prompt:
Expressive fine art painting, museum-level quality, close-up composition.
A frost-covered Christmas tree dominates the frame, dark green needles painted with thick, uneven palette knife strokes and dry brush textures, heavy physical paint, visible canvas grain.
Paper angels with outstretched wings hang on the branches, rough-edged, aged paper texture, slightly torn silhouettes. Each angel bears a child’s name handwritten in blurred black ink, as if written with a fountain pen on damp paper.
Around the tree, ghostly child souls appear as semi-transparent forms emerging from smoke, ink washes, and underpainting layers — not literal figures, but emotional silhouettes dissolving into the air.
Background built from deep black and graphite ink layers with dripping stains, scratches, erasures, distressed surface.
A symbolic Ukrainian flag in the distance, abstracted brushstrokes of muted ultramarine blue and ash-yellow breaking through darkness — restrained, solemn, never decorative.
Broken Christmas ornaments scattered beneath the tree, cracked glass spheres, sharp highlights on fragments, snow dust and ash on the floor, tactile realism.
Snowfall rendered as fine white scratches, ink marks, and graphic strokes rather than realistic flakes.
Nearly monochrome palette: black, white, graphite grey, deep green. Extremely limited color accents: subdued blue and yellow only.
Style: expressionism, dark symbolism, mixed media painting (ink + oil), palette knife, dry brush, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, emotional silence, war in Ukraine, memory, grief, lost childhood.
