I would like to build a 2D rpg. Which engine/library should I use?
Support for images is ok. Use gloss-juicy to load from a variety of format. Supports transparency. Unfortunately, the texture scaling algorithm interpolates between pixels, so this is not suitable for chunky pixel art.

About Gloss
That Picture type is what does all the heavy lifting. Have you read its Haddocks already? There's an example using play in gloss-examples if it helps you (it just renders the most recent event as text on the screen). When I was new to Haskell and gloss, I found "following the types" helped. There's only a limited amount of things you can do with Picture, and those limitations can help guide you.

Are there more elegant languages for generative art and creative coding?
Haskell is the purest of the pure, and a fun language. Never done graphics with it but I see Gloss looks decent - https://github.com/benl23x5/gloss.

Can't install WxHaskell on Windows
If you just want to draw stuff on a window, then have a look at gloss (a very simple yet useful interface to OpenGL) and sdl2 (which gives bindings to the SDL library).
