Prompt:
Create a high-end surreal mixed-media portrait using the face of a 44-year-old Eastern European man with dark-blond hair, short neatly trimmed beard, and strong masculine facial structure. Preserve realistic facial proportions, mature features, and natural skin texture. Expression should be calm, introspective, and composed, with eyes gently closed or softly lowered, conveying inner strength and stillness.
Render the face as a geometric collage of metallic panels and layered textures, seamlessly blending matte graphite gray skin tones with luxurious gold-leaf surfaces. Integrate rectangular and vertical panel segments, fine grid lines, architectural markings, handwritten script textures, and subtle ornamental engravings embedded into the face and neck. Some facial areas appear sculpted, others flat and graphic, creating a harmonious balance between realism and abstraction.
Use a restricted color palette dominated by antique gold, brushed brass, warm ochre, muted silver, charcoal gray, and soft black. The gold elements should feel tactile and premium—slightly worn, textured, and imperfect—like aged gilded metal or museum artifacts.
Lighting is soft, directional studio lighting, emphasizing depth, texture, and material contrast without harsh shadows. Background should be pure black or deep negative space, allowing the portrait to feel suspended, iconic, and gallery-ready.
Ultra-high resolution, fine-art editorial quality, surreal contemporary aesthetic, modern sculpture meets digital collage. Elegant, powerful, timeless.
