Generate images in the Neon Surreal Noir style

Use Krea 2 with the Neon Surreal Noir moodboard to generate images in this style.

This aesthetic explores a high-contrast intersection between retro-futuristic science fiction and graphic, avant-garde portraiture. It relies on a consistent tension between deep, moody shadows and vibrant, saturated color palettes that mimic thermal heat maps or neon light. The compositions prioritize minimalist, symmetrical framing and layered textures like film grain, risograph dots, or aquatic caustics to create an uncanny, surreal atmosphere.
