impressionistic
Impressionistic is an adjective that refers to a style or technique in visual arts, literature, music, or other creative endeavors that seeks to capture and convey the sensory, emotional, or atmospheric impressions of a particular scene, moment, or experience, rather than providing an exact or detailed representation. This term is often associated with the late 19th-century art movement, Impressionism, that originated in France. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any vague, suggestive, or indistinct communication or perception.
