To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Sanyu was a Chinese-French painter known for his unique blend of Eastern and Western art styles. Born in 1901 in Sichuan, China, he moved to Paris in the 1920s, where he became part of the vibrant art scene. Sanyu's work is characterized by its simplicity, elegance, and a distinct use of line and color, often focusing on still lifes and nudes. His art reflects a synthesis of traditional Chinese aesthetics with modernist influences, making him a significant figure in the cross-cultural art movement of the early 20th century.
Sanyu's Midjourney style representation features a minimalist and painterly approach with a focus on portraits. The use of fine lines and flat color application creates a serene and introspective mood. The compositions often center around human figures, utilizing negative space and symmetrical layouts to convey balance and calmness. The color palette is dominated by soft pastels and muted tones, adding to the contemplative atmosphere. This style reflects modernist and figurative elements, drawing visual parallels to artists like Henri Matisse and Amedeo Modigliani, with influences from both Eastern and Western art traditions.
