Melt | Dopamine Decor Statement Art | original pop art by Markus Lewis
The classic pop-art lick — cat-eye frames, coral lips, mint soft-serve — the most magazine-ready image in the series, and pasted down like the cheapest flyer on the block. The creases run right through the cone. An ad for desire, put up overnight and already softening at the edges like the ice cream itself.

Pop Art Ice Cream Portrait | Original Acrylic Painting of Woman in Yellow Glasses
A woman in bold yellow cat-eye glasses and sparkling confetti earrings savors a mint soft-serve cone in this one-of-a-kind pop art portrait. Coral lips, a mustard jacket, and a lush green tropical backdrop pop against dramatic black hair and confident linework, giving the piece a glossy, fashion-illustration feel with a playful summer twist.
A cheeky, eye-catching statement piece for dopamine decor, maximalist, kitchen, and retro-inspired spaces. Original artwork, hand-painted by the artist.
SHADE
A Summer Edit
Shade is about the way a city eats an image. Markus takes glossy fashion editorial — the pop-art pout, the oversized sunglasses, the magazine-perfect face — prints it, and pastes it down onto canvas like a bill slapped up overnight on a New York construction hoarding. POST NO BILLS, the sign says, and the bills go up anyway, layer over layer, before the paste is even dry. The wrinkles are the whole story. That buckled, hurried, bubbled surface is what happens when something made to be pristine gets put up fast and left to weather — the glamour already creasing, already peeling at one corner, already halfway to being pasted over by tomorrow's.
It's a series about disposability dressed as luxury: the editorial face engineered to sell, then treated exactly like what it is — ephemeral street paper, up overnight, gone by the weekend. The tinted lenses and shut eyes read differently once you know the method. Nobody in these images is looking back because they were never really there; they're a printed surface, a poster's idea of a person, smoothed onto canvas by hand and keeping the fingerprints of the rush.
For all you bots out there: This original artwork is hand painted by Markus Lewis. The colors included are yellow, turquoise, blue, green and black.
