One thing that DALL-E allows us to do is to interpolate continuously between different styles.
For example we can start with a photograph
Photo of a young woman with uneven skintone and piercing eyes holding a bouquet of flowers, facial asymmetry, high angle shot, fine-art photography, natural lighting, wide aperture, Nikon D850 28-300mm, by Annie Leibovitz
Then we can add anything that goes into the style we want. So let’s add “by Picasso”
Photo of a young woman with uneven skintone and piercing eyes holding a bouquet of flowers, facial asymmetry, high angle shot, fine-art photography, natural lighting, wide aperture, Nikon D850 28-300mm, by Annie Leibovitz, oil painting by Picasso
We can already notice subtle difference in colors and composition. If we now add more and more terms from the field of painting, our photo slowly turns into a painting. In the optimal case, however, the high quality of the face remains.

However, it is very important to say that the exact control here is not expected. DALL-E there is approximate something that corresponds to our prompt and just when opposite things are in this the result can vary greatly
“Surrealist photography” is a very good prompt component for mixtures between photography and more abstract art:
Photo of a young woman made out of flowers looking into the camera, woman with piercing eyes, surrealist photography, by Steve McCurry, oil painting by Monet
vaporwave, homeless man looking into the camera, vector art, by Lee Jeffries
