stylizes

Depicts with flair

Stylizes means renders in a particular style, especially one that simplifies or abstracts from realistic representation.

An artist who stylizes a subject imposes a consistent aesthetic treatment: The logo stylizes a fox into three curved lines.

The word often implies deliberate departure from naturalism toward something more decorative, symbolic, or distinctive.
