Prompt
A smooth polished lacquer painting made by selectively cutting back shallow lacquer layers to reveal nested colour contours at different depths, with restrained highlights. A small shrimp crosses a narrow crevice between two rocks, its body bridging the gap: the crevice drops through the deepest cut layers in near-black blue and teal, the rock faces step down in nested contours of olive, slate and rust, and the shrimp sits in the shallowest cut layers in pale coral and cream so it glows against the depth.
Light is implied by layer depth: the higher layers catch an overhead glow while the crevice falls into dark, and the stepped contours of the rock edges act as leading lines drawing the eye to the shrimp at the centre. Palette of deep teal, ink blue, olive, rust and a single pale coral accent; luxurious, precise, polished finish.
Wide 16:9 frame. No people, hands, faces, readable text, logos, tanks, nets or artificial objects.
