Control – Original Surreal Mixed Media Artwork on Paper

Control is an original surreal mixed media artwork created on paper, examining the tension between authority, vulnerability, and imposed order. At the center of the composition lies a dominant eye embedded within a restrained human form—symbolizing perception shaped by force rather than freedom.

Mechanical elements, blades, stitched surfaces, and tethered creatures appear throughout the piece, reflecting systems of control that operate both internally and externally. Organic forms struggle against rigid structures, creating a visual dialogue between instinct and obedience, autonomy and manipulation.

The artwork’s layered textures and symbolic contrasts invite prolonged contemplation. Every element is deliberate, forming a narrative about how control is exercised, resisted, and internalized. The muted yet intense palette reinforces emotional weight without overpowering the composition.

Created for collectors drawn to psychologically charged surrealism, Control stands as a powerful statement piece for curated interiors and private collections. Its execution on paper enhances intimacy and detail, emphasizing the artist’s precision and conceptual depth.
