Concept
Edvard Munch is a renowned Expressionist artist whose works are distinguished by their evocative, eerie atmosphere. They truly grip the viewer and vividly convey mood, immersing the audience in a world of unusual landscapes and distorted faces. The artist’s work inspired me to create a series of images with a Halloween atmosphere. I believe Munch’s style is perfectly suited for this theme.
Final Episode
After training the model, I began writing prompts. However, I chose not to elaborate on them extensively. Munch was an artist who created things others did not expect from him. Therefore, by showing the neural network his work, I gave it the freedom to act relatively unbound so that I could achieve a sufficiently unexpected result.
PROMPT: painting in munk style. Sky, witch, halloween.This is the first experimental piece in the series. It did not borrow everything from the artist’s work. Therefore, in the code, I increased the LoRA strength value so that the resulting images align more closely with the prompt’s requirements.

This zombie image is not highly saturated, but it evokes the artist’s less defined and faded paintings.
Overgrown graveyard. An interesting approach to color. The composition characteristic of Munch’s paintings is also evident.
