Mirror-Dimension Coral Reef in Oil: Surreal Reflections

An expansive oil painting of a vibrant coral reef, rendered with thick impasto brushstrokes and luminous, glossy colors on a textured canvas. The scene unfolds inside a surreal mirror dimension: transparent walls and multiple reflective surfaces bend and multiply the reef, creating endless duplicates and kaleidoscopic fragments. Coral polyps glow in oranges, pinks, and yellows, while sea fans sway in the painted currents. Schools of tiny fish whirl in mirrored copies, their lights streaking across the surface as if the water itself has become glass. Light filters through the water and the mirror panes, casting sparkling highlights and elongated shadows that warp with the dimension. The composition uses an off-center horizon and deep perspective, giving a dreamlike, slightly eerie mood reminiscent of Baroque underwater tableaux. Textural detail: visible brushstrokes, thick oil paint, pronounced canvas grain, and subtle crackle varnish. The overall effect is a fusion of natural marine beauty and a mind-bending mirror-world.
