A hyper-realistic, dark fantasy vertical portrait of a pale, muscular humanoid figure encased within an ornate, towering black pillar. The figure has a smooth, bald head made of solid gold, looking downward with a solemn expression. His torso features pale, marble-like white skin, heavily intertwined with twisting, organic golden roots, liquid metal tendrils, and intricate vines that wrap around his arms and waist, extending wildly into the surrounding darkness. The pillar itself is decorated with elaborate, symmetrical Baroque gold filigree and floral relief patterns against a dark matte background. The figure stands inside a dark recessed niche within the column. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, high contrast, cinematic atmosphere, highly detailed textures of polished metal and smooth skin, octane render, 8k, surreal sculpture aesthetic.
