About the Item
“When I See You” is a luminous and vertically expressive original abstract painting from the Bloomflow collection, exploring themes of recognition, tenderness, and emotional lift. Measuring 6” W × 36” H, the elongated format amplifies a sense of upward movement—like a quiet unfolding moment stretched through time.
Soft, blooming forms rise through the composition, anchored by vibrant pinks and warmed by golden yellows, fresh greens, and airy blues. The brushwork is fluid and layered, allowing translucent passages to overlap with more saturated marks. Subtle line work and delicate gestural accents weave through the surface, adding rhythm and visual continuity without interrupting the painting’s gentle flow.
The composition feels intimate yet aspirational—suggestive of connection, noticing, and that subtle internal shift that happens in the presence of someone meaningful. Color transitions feel natural and buoyant, supported by areas of light and negative space that give the work breath and balance.
Texture remains refined but present, with visible strokes and layered paint creating depth while maintaining a soft, luminous surface. The vertical orientation invites the eye to travel slowly upward, reinforcing the painting’s sense of lift and emotional clarity.
“When I See You” offers a graceful, uplifting presence—quietly expressive and emotionally resonant—making it ideal for narrow wall spaces or as a poetic accent within a larger installation.

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.
