Michael de la Guerra is an artist and a retired freelance writer who--under the name Michael Lopez--has been featured as a case study in the Harvard Business Review, published in The Huffington Post, banned from writing for Buzzfeed (long story), and featured as an expert in Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, and more. He’s ghostwritten for NFL players and bank CEOs alike but remains at the mercy of NDAs signed during a decade-long copywriting career working with sought-after digital marketing agencies on high-converting campaigns for some of the largest names in business. He works in academia now and spends his creative energy on visual art and poetry.

Why Would I Give My Art Away For Free And Why Would You Want It?
It’s simple, really.
My name is Michael de la Guerra, I'm a writer and artist living in Los Angeles, and we’ve got similar enough tastes it seems, given I was able to snag your attention with my ad.
This means you might like my art, and I want to get it into the hands of as many people who might appreciate it as possible.
After walking away from a lucrative but unfulfilling career as an advertising copywriter and creative, I poured every last bit of creative energy I had into the "Scenes of Romantic Modernism" collection I'd like to share with you today.
Original Photography by Michael de la Guerra
It's a series of modern minimalist art pieces fused with contemporary prose exploring everything from the anxious butterflies of new love…
To the devastation of relationships corrupted by selfishness and addiction.
Original Photography by Michael de la Guerra
It’s for anyone who still clings to the conceptual grandeur of love.
Each piece contains original photography, artwork, or design, and poetry that honors even the darkest nuances of intimacy; it embraces imperfection in romance, the flaws and mistakes, and the contradictions of hurt people trying to love fully.
It captures both the fragile beauty and casual cruelties of love with raw, sometimes dark, comedic honesty. From despairing over being the "less attractive friend" to graphically depicting substance abuse's impact on a relationship, these works refuse to reduce love to its many worn out cliches.
And while this collection isn't even officially released yet, I'm making a handful of pieces exclusively available to people like you.
Here's Why You Need To Own Your Very Own Piece Of Modern Romanticism...
Let's face it - our world is overwhelmingly obsessed with cheapening the human experience into trendy, overly regurgitated categories.
Love and affection, and the labels we assign to them, have become self-help trends to be strip-mined for platitudes, mocked by social media "life coaches," and packaged into bite-sized distractions.
We're all being gaslit into believing romance has no profundity beyond temporary lust and endless connections with no meaning.
Maybe you've wanted to silence the shallowness parroted by all the armchair TikTok psychologists and let love exist in the messiness of its own mystery.
If so, this is your chance to be among the first to experience a controversial, new modern art and poetry collection.

SCENES OF ROMANTIC MODERNISM
by Michael de la Guerra
From butterflies and first dates to personal tragedies and heartbreak, this collection celebrates the poetic and profound beauty still found within love and romance in the modern age. Addiction, infidelity, insomnia, and even the ethics of sleeping with a teacher from childhood are themes artist Michael de la Guerra explores through masterful visual and written storytelling. These works pay homage to the depths of love's nuance through a distinctly contemporary lens that marries timeless motifs with a minimalist aesthetic sensibility. Each piece combines thought-provoking poetic verse with elegant design, capturing slices of romantic life in stylishly simplistic compositions.
This collection is crafted for the artistic romantic, the hopeless modernist sap, the aesthete who stubbornly believes in life's whimsical possibilities despite the jadedness of today's world. It serves as a reminder that love—much like art—remains a conceptual wonder worth reverently exploring and artistically immortalizing, even in modern form.
These are stunning. Always impressed by your artistic endeavors, and your commitment to quality and how it almost becomes a characteristic of the art. Bravo, Michael.

Your Print Will Outlive You For An Entire Generation Because Of The Paper It's Printed On: Here's What "Archival Quality" Really Means
When your new artwork slips out into your hands I want you to know this: you’re making an investment.
These are not throwaway decor pieces destined for basement boxes or thrift stores in a few years.
Each print is produced on Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper—a museum-grade stock rated for over 100 years of display life before any fading or deterioration occurs. This isn't the cheap stuff - Fujicolor's proprietary coating and materials lock in a breathtaking tonal range, vibrant colors, and profound density for more than a century.
Just as the artistic concepts I explored in this collection transcend eras and artistic movements, so too do the physical prints endure as perpetual sources of inspiration.
Whether hung proudly as a centerpiece over your writing desk or on any sort of personal sanctuary's halls, your archival-quality print will remain for decades upon decades.
Long after trends have come and gone, digital platforms have evolved and collapsed, your print will endure as a permanent conceptual rendering of our current moment in time.
Don't Miss This Opportunity:
I'm giving away as many free prints as I can to build an audience of passionate art collectors and lovers of the modern romantic aesthetic. Once these initial pieces are claimed, the collection's official release will be offered at full price.
If you appreciate craftsmanship and want to enrich your space, don't let this chance pass you by.
