I recently needed an "avatar" for the wall at work. The actual one I went with was a Tatakovsky-inspired minimalist avatar that was settled by the 4th prompt.

But I kept exploring and in the process had developed a canonical identity model definition which could then be transformed according to various art movements and other ideas, by the end focusing more on the light and materials than specific artists.

Some of my favourites and surprising ones out of the hundreds of images were:

- Prairie School with my portrait expressed as faceted timber

- Czech Cubism where my face was merged with the architecture

- Japanese sumi-e and ukiyo-e prints

- Delaunay triangulation

- Turing morphogenesis

- Magnetic fields

- Gaudi-inspired organic sculpture
