stylize
Render with flair
To stylize something is to render it in a deliberate, often simplified or exaggerated manner rather than realistically: stylized flowers on the wallpaper, a stylized portrait.
Stylized art emphasizes design elements—clean lines, bold shapes, distinctive patterns—over naturalistic representation.
The term can suggest artificiality when applied to behavior or speech: Her movements were oddly stylized.
