Mystery and Romance in a Shadowy City

• Model: DaVinci2

• Size: 1536 X 1536 (2.36 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A surreal abstract illustration in the style of Neo-Noir Dada Surrealism — a darkly poetic urban dream rendered as a mixed-media drawing. The scene unfolds in a nocturnal city setting — streets, lamps, human silhouettes, fragmented advertisements — all reinterpreted through hand-drawn collage, ink outlines, torn textures, and typographic fragments. Human figures appear distorted yet expressive: faces half-hidden, bodies fractured into geometric blocks, speech bubbles with nonsense words, oversized everyday objects floating in space. Visual language combines ink drawing, pastel chalk, digital cut-out collage, and water-stained textures, blending the feel of noir comics, Dada absurdism, and urban surreal theater. Color palette: muted blues, candy pinks, paper-white glare, acidic yellows, and scattered neon highlights — evoking fluorescent city nightscapes. Composition: tilted horizon, asymmetrical framing, expressive hand-rendered motion lines, layered collage geometry. Mood: ironic melancholy, absurd modern solitude, a moment between laughter and despair.
