Create an image that combines the mind-bending optical illusion of a never-ending staircase with the surreal colors of infrared photography, all wrapped up in an abstract composition that challenges the viewer's perception of reality.

Depict a surreal and abstract composition that challenges the viewer's perception of reality. Include an optical illusion of a never-ending staircase, designed in asymmetrical, paradoxical lines, and give it a mesmerizing enchantment of surreal colors. Make sure these colors are reminiscent of the unique palette seen in infrared photography, featuring hues of vibrant violets, deep blues, and intense reds. Focus on making the image layered and complex, with the staircase seeming to ascend and descend simultaneously, forcing the mind to question its understanding of space and perspective.
