A hyper-realistic close-up portrait of a woman wearing a surreal, avant-garde chrome asymmetrical mask that covers exactly half of her face, leaving her sharp, expressive eyes exposed. The mask features an intricate, neuron-inspired design with over 1,000 surreal spikes extending outward to the right in an exaggerated and otherworldly fashion, forming a mesmerizing cascade of sharp, metallic projections that ripple and twist like liquid energy frozen in time. The polished chrome surface glimmers with mirrored highlights, liquid-like smoothness, and luminous neural patterns, reflecting light in captivating, dynamic ways. Her permed short red hair, accented with vibrant orange tones, forms a fiery frame around her uncovered features, while her pale skin, subtly warmed with an orange tint, adds a gentle contrast to the cold brilliance of the mask. The spikes stretch dramatically into the composition, creating a striking sense of motion and depth that enhances the surreal aesthetic. The background is a single pitch-black tone, intensifying the vivid details of the mask and her vibrant appearance. Rendered in ultra-HD, 8K resolution with cinematic lighting and a shallow depth of field, the image captures the intricate reflections, shadow interplay, and luminous metallic accents of the surreal chrome design. Inspired by futuristic haute couture and cutting-edge surrealism, this portrait is a striking blend of human beauty and avant-garde innovation, radiating mystery and elegance.
