Prompt: A vast, dreamlike waterborne metropolis rises from cerulean depths, its coral-carved towers stretching upward like living sculptures. Mother-of-pearl mosaics ripple across their facades, forming fleeting faces and masks as the light shifts—an Arcimboldo-inspired illusion suggesting a sentient city.
Arched bridges lace the skyline, overgrown with glowing kelp and bioluminescent vines. From their curves spill cascading waterfalls rendered as flowing ribbons of light. Floating lanterns drift through the mist, shaped like Botticelli-inspired sea goddesses—merfolk forms simplified into elegant silhouettes, radiant and symbolic rather than literal.
Surreal details bloom throughout the city: winged fish streak between columns, their fins trailing stardust; translucent currents bend architecture into soft distortions. At the heart of the metropolis, a colossal leviathan glides through a central canal, bearing an ancient cathedral upon its back. Along its spine, mural-like imagery depicts drowned romances in a tender, painterly style, blending flesh, stone, and memory.
Beyond the city, the horizon fractures into alpine forms—snow-capped peaks emerging directly from the sea, stylized and monumental. Griffins with frosted-glass feathers patrol the skies, their shapes graphic and emblematic rather than anatomical.
In the lower foreground, a quiet moment of intimacy anchors the scale: a human figure and a gilled figure lean together on a balcony grown from living crystal. Their entwined hands glow faintly, echoing the soft luminescence of the city. The water below whispers in abstract patterns, suggesting unseen stories and ancient folklore.
The palette blends cerulean blues, pearlescent whites, sea-gold highlights, and misty pastels. Brushstrokes remain visible, edges slightly softened, emphasizing mood over precision. The image reads as mythic world-building—an oceanic civilization suspended between romance, surrealism, and impossible architecture.
