About the Item
Stunning addition to shorter walls or small sections of wall on either side of a door opening!
“Longing” is a luminous, vertical abstract painting by contemporary artist Michelle Thomas.
Created as an exploration of yearning, transformation, and the emotional pull between stillness and movement, this original work evokes a sense of reaching—both inward and upward. “Longing” expresses the tension between desire and serenity, between the grounded and the ethereal.
The composition unfurls in rich layers of golden amber, deep violet, and teal—interwoven with soft whites and touches of black that anchor the flow. Warm hues rise like light through glass, while cool tones ripple beneath, creating a dance of depth and motion. Whispers of white and silver swirl gracefully across the surface, suggesting the invisible currents of emotion and time.
With its tall, slender form and graceful movement of color, “Longing” becomes a visual meditation—simultaneously grounded and aspirational, serene yet alive with motion.

Why “Longing” Stands Out
Vertical Presence
Emotional Flow:
At 42 inches tall and just 6 inches wide, the elongated format mirrors the feeling of ascent—drawing the eye upward in a gesture of hope and quiet persistence. It’s ideal for architectural niches, transitional walls, or intimate gallery arrangements that invite contemplation.
Soulful, Expressive Palette:
Radiant golds and tangerines meet the tranquil depths of indigo, turquoise, and violet, blending warmth and coolness in poetic harmony. Each hue contributes to a layered emotional atmosphere—evoking both vulnerability and strength.
Gestural Elegance:
Sweeping arcs of white and silver glide through the composition like breath or whispered thought, imparting rhythm and movement while maintaining balance and restraint.

About the Artist — Michelle Thomas
Michelle Thomas is a contemporary abstract artist known for her expressive mixed-media approach, instinctive mark-making, and her ability to merge emotional authenticity with sophisticated, design-forward aesthetics. Her work explores themes of introspection, identity, memory, and the internal landscapes we navigate daily. With a deep appreciation for journaling and the imperfect beauty of handwritten expression, Michelle incorporates raw materials, distressed textures, gestural markings, and symbolic fragments into her compositions.
Through layered surfaces, intuitive movement, and emotionally charged technique, she creates artwork that is both intimate and bold—capturing the tension between what is expressed and what remains unfinished. Her practice is rooted in exploration and freedom, allowing each body of work to emerge organically from mood, instinct, and sensory experience.
On the 1stDibs platform, Michelle’s artwork is presented through five curated collections, each representing a distinct facet of her evolving creative voice:
1. Urban Edge
Grit, gesture, texture, and the unfiltered emotional language of modern street art.
This collection channels the tactile energy of urban environments—graffiti-marked walls, layered posters, distressed textures, and the spontaneous visual rhythm found in city landscapes. These works often incorporate mixed media, instinctive marks, scraped surfaces, and symbolic handwriting that echo the fragmented narratives of street culture. Bold, expressive, and emotionally charged, this series celebrates the honesty of unfiltered expression. As her creative journey evolves, Michelle continues pushing boundaries within this collection, embracing the beauty of raw, textural imperfection.
2. Bloomflow
Soft movement, expressive blooms, and the emotional warmth of nature reimagined through abstraction.
In this collection, Michelle explores floral energy not through literal representation, but through mood, gesture, and color. Loose, flowing strokes evoke petals, stems, and organic forms, while warm palettes bring a sense of comfort, joy, and natural harmony. These works blend softness with sophistication, offering uplifting compositions that feel both contemporary and deeply rooted in the emotional resonance of the natural world. Each piece feels like a moment of breath—calming, hopeful, and quietly radiant.
3. Pulse
Motion
Movement, intensity, and dynamic mark-making shaped by emotion and intuition.
This series reflects Michelle’s most instinctive, high-energy practice—compositions driven by rhythm, momentum, and expressive spontaneity. Vibrant strokes, layered gestures, and contrasting visual beats evoke the sensation of music, dance, or the shifting pulse of internal emotion. These pieces carry an electrifying sense of immediacy, celebrating the creative moment itself. Unrestrained and alive, they embody the thrill of expression and the freedom of embracing the unknown.
4. Colorplay Organica
Playful forms, bold color, and a joyful spirit of experimentation.
This vibrant collection highlights Michelle’s love of humor, boldness, and unconventional creativity. Wiggly shapes, fluid contours, and unexpected palettes come together in quirky, modern compositions bursting with personality. These works feel contemporary, fresh, and unapologetically fun—blending mid-century influences with modern design sensibilities. They invite viewers to experience art with delight and curiosity, proving that sophistication and playfulness can coexist beautifully.
5. Sculpted Stillness
Elegant restraint, sculptural surfaces, and the quiet power of texture.
In this minimalist yet deeply expressive series, Michelle allows texture itself to become the focal point. Using thick mediums, sculptural ridges, and dimensional layering, she creates monochromatic or near-monochromatic compositions with mesmerizing depth. These pieces speak in subtle tones—neutral palettes, single-color fields, and understated elegance—making them ideal for sophisticated, design-driven interiors. Built through a slow, meditative process, they reflect the beauty of stillness, tactility, and intentional simplicity.
