"The Master" presents a striking modernist composition in black and silver tones, featuring dramatic silhouetted forms arranged in a powerful vertical composition. The piece combines bold graphic elements with typography, creating an ambiguous narrative through its minimalist aesthetic. The interplay between positive and negative space suggests both presence and absence, while the accompanying text adds a layer of poetic mystery.
Accompanied by all original prose: a poem entitled "The Master" was written exclusively for this piece by Michael de la Guerra and has not been released anywhere else:
Styles: Abstract, minimalist, modern, black and white, vintage, dark

With a vibe like a vintage noir movie poster, "THE MASTER" is a simple yet memorable monochromatic composition that merges abstract expressionism with narrative elements. Bold black forms rise against a silvery backdrop, creating a dramatic interplay of positive and negative space

Michael, these are so beautiful, thank you. I mean, I "knew" you cared about quality but these prints are beautiful.

Excellent stuff, sir. You are great at combining visuals with words, just as you are at designing them both separately. And the print quality is superb.

I wish my girlfriend looked at me the way she looks at the prints I bought her. Not sure how to feel, but thank you for the surprise bonuses, and regardless of my envy, your commitment to quality deserves credit.
