The prompt

Original

Hilma af Klint + M. C. Escher + deep-sky astrophotography, where af Klint's flat matte tempera fills, divided by diagrammatic concentric ordering and paired symbolic colour coding, create calm schematic fields through hard-edged zoning, Escher's conflicting vanishing points produce impossible spatial illusion via parallel-line hatched modelling, and deep-sky astrophotography infuses soft luminous tonal gradients from stacked long exposures with narrowband false-colour mapping. The fusion manifests as hard-edged tempera zones, hatched planes that fold between viewpoints, and nonlinear-stretched glow fading into near-black, transforming any subject through diagrammatic order.

Model-neutral

The same look with artist names and copyrighted references removed — for models that refuse them.

Early twentieth-century spiritualist abstract tempera painting + Dutch mathematical-print woodcut and lithograph illusionism + deep-sky astrophotography, where flat matte tempera fills, divided by diagrammatic concentric ordering and paired symbolic colour coding, create calm schematic fields through hard-edged zoning, conflicting vanishing points produce impossible spatial illusion via parallel-line hatched modelling, and deep-sky astrophotography infuses soft luminous tonal gradients from stacked long exposures with narrowband false-colour mapping.

Effect only

The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.

Flat, opaque, matte fills sit in hard-edged zones divided by ordered, diagram-like structure, with colours working as coded pairs. Surfaces are built from fine parallel hatching whose perspective shifts between conflicting vanishing points, so planes fold and contradict each other. Soft glowing tonal ramps, smooth as stacked exposures and split into false-colour channels, fade into near-black beside crisp zone edges.
