Prompt:
A tight close-up illustration composed according to the golden ratio, rendered in a liquid, expressive mixed-media style with translucent wet-on-wet alcohol inks, pouring medium, fine ink lines, and softly controlled abstract splashes. The spiral composition converges precisely on the eyes, which form the emotional and visual nucleus of the image. The subject is an extreme close-up of a young, exceptionally beautiful Chinese woman, with the frame cropped so tightly that only her eyes and a minimal portion of the surrounding skin are visible. Her gaze is revealed through a narrow horizontal slit created by two parallel planks of precious wood placed above and below the eyes. The wooden boards are crafted from refined, dark, warm-toned hardwood, with elegant grain patterns and subtle natural imperfections, rendered with painterly realism and softened edges where ink bleeds gently into the surface.
The eyes are the absolute protagonists of the illustration. She has striking heterochromia: one eye is a luminous amber, glowing with honey-gold and subtle copper undertones, while the other is a deep chestnut brown, rich, velvety, and introspective. The irises are hyper-detailed, with complex radial structures dissolving outward into translucent ink halos, as if pigment were diffusing through water. Fine highlights shimmer on the moist lower eyelids, anchoring the abstraction in realism. Her eyebrows are only partially visible, softly defined and naturally arched, emerging from shadow with restrained elegance.
Skin tones are smooth and porcelain-like, with warm undertones softly blended into the surrounding white space, edges dissolving into watercolor blooms. Lighting is gentle and atmospheric, filtered and airy, with pale ivory highlights and cool, breathable gray shadows that never overpower the eyes. The background is predominantly white, animated by faint abstract splashes and flowing ink currents that subtly echo the amber and brown hues of the irises, reinforcing visual cohesion without distracting from the gaze.
Ink lines are minimal, curved, and delicate, used sparingly to guide the eye toward the center rather than enclosing forms. Depth of field is extremely shallow, isolating the eyes and wooden planks while everything else fades into fluid abstraction. The mood is intimate, hypnotic, and contemplative — a quiet confrontation between concealment and revelation, where the eyes dominate the composition with silent intensity and emotional gravity.
