The scene the art director wrote

A somber hospital corridor in Guadalajara fills the middle ground with concerned faces of family members and medical staff, as a dark storm cloud gathers outside the windows, casting a gloomy light on the scene, with oil rigs visible in the distant landscape.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A somber hospital corridor in Guadalajara fills the middle ground with concerned faces of family members and medical staff, as a dark storm cloud gathers outside the windows, casting a gloomy light on the scene, with oil rigs visible in the distant landscape. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.
