Using the provided reference image as the base, convert it from black-and-white photography into a vivid color painted illustration while preserving the same crop, pose, clothing silhouette, hairstyle, and the rectangular face-obscuring block. Add a textured abstract art background that was not in the reference: off-white paper with broad blue paint washes, dark blue ink splatters, scratchy crosshatch marks, brush streaks, and drip effects. Colorize the subject naturally with warm skin tones, glossy dark hair, a black jacket, and a blue open shirt/scarf, rendered with expressive painterly highlights and high-contrast ink-like edges. Keep the overall composition close to the reference and do not reveal or reconstruct the hidden face; the face area must remain covered by a solid rectangle.
