Over Thinking — Original Painting by Mystiic Khalifa
Over Thinking is a raw, emotionally charged original painting by Toronto artist Mystiic Khalifa that confronts the weight of mental overload and psychological burnout through bold symbolism and graphic character form.
The composition features a stylized NPC-like figure collapsed into a red pool beneath them, set against a high-impact green background, with the phrase “It’s So Over” written above. The exaggerated posture, sharp outlines, and saturated color contrast transform an internal mental spiral into a striking visual statement.
Rather than glorifying distress, the work reflects the dangerous intensity of unchecked overthinking — the moment where thoughts become heavier than the body. Like much of Khalifa’s work, the piece uses simplified figures and imperfect mark-making to communicate emotional truth over visual polish.
Part of the artist’s ongoing NPC concept exploration, this painting speaks to modern emotional strain, identity fatigue, and the inner battles people rarely show outwardly.
Created instinctively and layered with expressive texture, the piece follows the artist’s core philosophy:
Paint first. Think after.
A powerful conversation piece for collectors of contemporary art, symbolic expressionism, and emotionally driven figurative work.
