A surreal Escher-inspired cityscape at sunset, where impossible staircases twist seamlessly into skyscrapers, and floating bridges spiral and loop endlessly into the sky.
The scene glows under a soft golden sun, casting long shadows across intricate geometric towers and interlocking pathways that defy gravity and orientation.
Buildings merge into labyrinthine forms, reflecting Escher’s paradoxical balance of logic and illusion.
The sky fades from warm amber and rose to deep cobalt blue, with light rays filtering through atmospheric haze, illuminating the complex architecture with ethereal depth.
Subtle reflections on glass and marble surfaces hint at both realism and dream — as if the city itself were a riddle of light and form.
Rendered as a fine art surrealist cityscape, blending architectural precision with painterly atmospheric tones.
