Compulsive - ORIGINAL ART

Compulsive is a vivid and stylised mixed media portrait from the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder collection. Created with alcohol inks and acrylics, this piece uses bold pattern, exaggerated form, and repetition to express the inner intensity of compulsive behaviour.

The figure’s wide, layered eyes and structured hair loops suggest hyper-focus and mental looping, while the vibrant, contrasting background of stripes and dots reflects sensory overload. Behind the playful colour lies a deeper emotional undercurrent—capturing the complexity of control, vulnerability, and the drive for order in the chaos of the mind
