Create an image for me that fits DIN A4. A beautiful woman with an african background. It should be a portrait in black and white – creative – surreal – abstract – with a reference to migration. Feel free to play with motion blur (but not too much – perhaps a subtle motion blur). The motif should be darker. The background should be light. Magazine editorial style. And please only the person. No other motifs. (The portrait will later be edited with a coloured background and text will be added – but I will do that myself). In photography, there are various rules and techniques for improving image composition, including the rule that people in the image should not look out of the frame. This is often considered part of image composition, as it is intended to draw the viewer's attention to the most important elements in the image. If a person is looking at the edge of the image, this can often create a feeling of incompleteness and distract the viewer from the main focus. A common practice is to position the person so that they are looking into the image rather than out of it. This creates a connection between the subject and the viewer and can enhance the emotional impact of the image. For example, if a person is looking to the left, the focus of the image should be on leaving enough space on the right side of the image to show the movement of the gaze. This technique goes hand in hand with other photographic rules, such as the rule of thirds or the golden ratio, which serve to harmonise the composition and increase visual interest. Only the person! No animals! No motion blur in the face!

This is a romantic oil painting in a lavish and dreamy style, featuring thick, expressive brushstrokes in an impasto technique and cinematic lighting that creates a magical atmosphere. The scene is set along the Seine River at night. Under the softly glowing café lanterns, a short-haired little boy stands quietly, nestled close as he gently presses his forehead against a sun he lovingly holds in his arms. Large wings sprout from his back, and the moment is peaceful and tender—like something out of a Jimmy Liao (幾米) storybook. He wears a flowing, princely outfit, elegant and whimsical like something out of The Little Prince, and his wavy short hair falls gently like rippling silk. The sun smiles at him gently, and atop the sun sits a white, cheerful little cat, radiating playful joy. Behind them, the café glows warmly, casting soft golden light across window boxes overflowing with scarlet geraniums and purple violets in full bloom. The cobblestone street glistens from a recent rain, mirroring the lantern light, moonlight, and colorful city lights, all of which shimmer across the surface of the river in a symphony of sparkling hues. A full moon rises slowly over the dreamy Parisian skyline, its glow partially framed by gently swaying tree branches. The entire scene is emotionally rich and fairy-tale-like, filled with warmth, passion, and nostalgic beauty—like a magical story forever captured on canvas. The painting uses expressive textures, glowing reflections, and a soft, storybook-like atmosphere to bring this enchanted moment to life.
