Contemporary Blending, theses by Tamas Antal:
Material / Substance A:
Borders and inner values are blurred, as are artistic styles. The material seems to disappear, and the digital flow sweeps away everything, but it will never be able to return the radiance of the material, the essence that is hidden in it. The many gestures of movements, strained concentration, deep contemplation and inspiration. With flow, however, you can get into a similar inspired state when creating a digital work.
Material / Substance B:
The digital artist is affected by the radiation of the monitor and the artist cannot 'switch off' like when working with material. The connection between 'material and man' ceases...
Material / Substance C:
You don't have to paint everything, it's enough just to print out the digital works... what you have to paint is the work process from which something is born...
Material / Substance D:
If you are able to cross your limits, you find a connection behind everything...this is art...where everything is connected to everything.

You can see the mixing of the styles of two artists, from which new styles are born.
The Style Prompts contains 'a painting' that is created in the style of the artist, regardless of whether the artist is a sculptor, photographer, or video artist etc. The prompt only uses style and a partial description of the artist, never using a specific artwork as a prompt.
"...style alone is not usually considered the subject matter of copyright."
