stylised
Artistically rendered, nonrealistic
Stylised is the British spelling of stylized.
To stylise something is to represent it according to a particular artistic style rather than realistically, emphasizing certain features while simplifying or distorting others: stylised floral patterns, a stylised portrait.
Stylised work prioritizes aesthetic effect or convention over naturalistic accuracy.
