Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of contemporary conceptual art and experimental photography. It draws from conceptual art's pursuit of abstract thinking and emotional expression, while employing experimental photography techniques like multiple exposure and motion blur. The style also shows minimalist influences, using simplified color palettes and compositions to highlight core visual elements, creating a visual language that is both modern and poetic.

Style Characteristics

The defining feature of this SREF is its dreamlike fusion of reality and abstraction. The overall imagery presents an ethereal quality where figure contours drift between blur and clarity, creating intense emotional atmosphere. The color scheme is dominated by cool gray tones accented with warm orange-red glows, forming striking warm-cool contrasts. Dynamic blur effects give static images a sense of flow, as if capturing fleeting moments in time. This style is impressive because it successfully transforms technical techniques into emotional expression, creating strong resonance and imaginative space for viewers.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • ethereal: Further enhances the otherworldly quality of the imagery, making figures appear more mysterious and transcendent
  • cinematic lighting: Amplifies dramatic light and shadow effects, making warm light sources more prominent and captivating
  • double exposure: Helps strengthen multi-layered visual effects, creating richer compositional depth and symbolic meaning

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album cover design, perfectly interpreting the emotional depth of music; art film posters, creating profound artistic atmosphere; visual design for mental health or emotional counseling services, conveying the complexity of inner worlds through dreamy aesthetics; and high-end brand conceptual advertising, showcasing artistic taste and emotional depth of brands.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2

The inclusion of complete prompts is particularly valuable, as it's an artistic choice that many creators hesitate to share openly.

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.
