Prompt: Intricately detailed, atmospheric dark surrealism digital painting depicting a convoluted labyrinth with Escher-inspired impossible architecture, zig-zagging steps and looping tunnels that seem to defy logic. At the very center, illuminated by a spotlight sits the Wise Mentor - a contemplative figure with the cynical, piercing eyes and intellectual expression of Lem. Surrounding the labyrinth float whimsical symbols of tempting mirages - delicate bubbles holding idyllic scenes of rapid success, fluffy clouds promising instant rewards. In contrast, the lower right corner features icons symbolizing concrete results from skillfully navigating harsh realities - intricate graphs and charts showing steady progress, a meticulous spreadsheet of sales figures, Benjamin Franklin backdrop on the computer screen, a trophy medal with inscription \"persistence\". Textures imbue physicality - stone tiles, eroded concrete, cracks and faded posters along the curving passages. Creates layered conceptual dichotomy between pragmatic wisdom and seductive illusions.
