Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Magic realism is a fusion of real and magical elements, presented in a remarkably detailed and realistic setting. To create art in this style, you should weave together components of normality with hints of the supernatural or fantastical. The key is the seamless merging of the real and magical, blurring the lines between them, even having them coexist in an otherwise mundane setting. It should paint reality, but with a twist of the unbelievable subtly inserted into the scene.
