The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A portrait assembled from large flat planes that overlap and slide against each other, each plane a single unmixed colour, so the head reads as a construction rather than a likeness. Features appear once or twice across different planes rather than in one place. Straight hard edges throughout, no shading, no outline, no blending, plain flat background. Bold modernist colour.

Tips
- 1Let features repeat across planes. One tidy face defeats the idea.
- 2Straight edges. Curves make it decorative rather than cubist.
- 3Unmixed colour. No plane should be a tint of another.
