How to Create WPAP Pop Art Portraits Using Nano Banana in Photoshop

WPAP (Wedha's Pop Art Portrait) transforms ordinary photos into striking geometric art with sharp lines and vibrant contrasting colors. This Indonesian art style, created by Wedha Abdul Rasyid in the 1990s, features cubist-inspired deconstructions that turn portraits into dynamic visual statements.

Using Google's Nano Banana AI model in Photoshop, you can generate these complex artistic transformations in seconds rather than spending hours manually creating each geometric section and color block.
