Lipstick Lex operates as an unconventional contemporary art venture that transcends making attention-grabbing, conversation-prompting pieces — actively broadcasting warmth, delight, beauty, and uplifting energy everywhere.
Crafting my art through kisses is unquestionably painstaking, yet I view affection as highly contagious, and something humanity desperately needs more of — that's precisely why my creations carry such an affirming message!
I offer exclusive original artworks to distinguished collectors while also producing printed editions for the casual art enthusiast.
Marilyn Monroe has been the subject of countless portraits I've crafted. Honestly, she served as the spark that ignited my entire lipstick-art journey! Previously, I focused on lifelike oil portraiture, though in 2011 I received a challenge: depict her through an unconventional method that matched her persona. After considerable reflection and experimentation, the notion of employing lipstick and kiss imprints took shape! Although I've been hired many times to portray Marilyn using my lipstick method, this specific artwork remains my top pick!
The variety of lipstick shades is practically limitless! Viewers frequently believe I'm wielding paint upon noticing blues, greens, yellows, or other unexpected tones. Allow me to demonstrate — every single stroke is 100% lipstick!
