hyperrealistic, highly dramatic, image of a dragon modeled in the style of Roman antiquity, detailed and timeless, similar to the marble sculptures found in the Vatican. The dragon, carved from pristine white marble, appears frozen in time against a deep black background. Suddenly, the head of the dragon is bursting into an explosion of vibrant paint in all the colours of the rainbow. This burst should appear as if the marble itself is shattering into countless colorful droplets, symbolizing a dramatic liberation from historical constraints into new, vivid possibilities. --ar 16:9
