Mixed media piece blending gothic architecture with cyberpunk elements in urban alley

Prompt

Create a mixed media piece that explores the juxtaposition of gothic architecture and cyberpunk elements in a bustling urban alleyway. Build a narrow street scene where towering, ornate gothic facades loom over the modern chaos of neon signs, holographic advertisements, and futuristic street vendors. The color scheme should lean heavily into warm tones—think blood reds, fiery oranges, and deep golds—casting an eerie, almost infernal glow over the scene. Incorporate a variety of materials to create depth and texture. Use acrylic paints for the warm background hues, layering them to simulate the glow of neon lights against the dark, intricate gothic structures. Integrate metallic elements, like gold leaf or copper wire, to add a tangible, reflective quality to the cyberpunk tech. Utilize collage techniques to add real-world textures—newspaper clippings, bits of circuit boards, and fabric scraps—to the piece, giving it a tactile, layered feel. In the foreground, place a lone figure
