1970s sci-fi paperback cover

1970s sci-fi paperback cover painting of a colossal geometric citadel made of interlocking gold and cobalt polyhedra suspended in a deep black void. Two tiny astronaut figures in white suits stand on a slender magenta stone causeway at the bottom edge, dwarfed by the monumental mathematical machinery towering above them. Smooth airbrushed gradients of magenta and cobalt nebula mist rise from the horizon, while harsh side-lighting casts crisp black shadows across the brushed-gold facets of the megastructure. Pure painted illustration with no text, no borders, and no markings. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper
