About the Item
“Still I Rise” – Original Contemporary Abstract Painting by Michelle Thomas
“Still I Rise” is a powerful, large-scale abstract painting that radiates emotion, energy, and purpose. Bold and vibrant, this original work of fine art captures the essence of resilience, renewal, and unshakable spirit. Deep crimson reds and fiery oranges evoke strength and passion; bold greens and radiant yellows speak to growth, transformation, and hope; while calming turquoise adds a touch of introspection, clarity, and inner peace. Together, these colors create a vivid symphony of perseverance and personal triumph.
Inspired by the iconic poem by Maya Angelou, “Still I Rise” is both a tribute and a visual interpretation of her enduring message of self-empowerment, dignity, and courage. Through expressive brushwork and abstract composition, the painting explores themes of identity, womanhood, healing, and personal liberation. It is a deeply emotive and inspiring artwork that resonates with anyone who has ever had to rise against the odds.
This museum-quality piece makes a bold statement in any space—whether in a residential interior or a curated art collection. Its dynamic energy and rich palette ensure it is not just an artwork, but a conversation piece, a symbol of strength, and a beacon of hope.

Discover more of Catherine Pennington-Meyer's original artwork with Wychwood Art online and in our Oxfordshire gallery. Catherine is an award-winning artist who currently lives and works near Munich, in Germany. Her work concentrates primarily on abstract expressionism. Catherine has participated in exhibitions throughout Europe and has quickly established a prestigious international collector base. Catherine says of her art: `I see my painting as a kind of language, translating what I feel or experience to those viewing it. I am innately drawn to create raw, emotive, expressionist pieces, mostly abstracts, which distil a subject down to its feeling. I don`t only want my art to be `beautiful` but for it to reach out and touch the person who is viewing it on an immediate, intuitive level. I want my paintings to speak to their audience in their own visceral language. I am influenced by nature, particularly the multifaceted nature of water, and memories of growing up in particularly beautiful landscapes in North Yorkshire and Scotland. I also find human psychology and science fascinating. But I see compositions everywhere, whether it be flowers in a park, the way smoke curls, books on a library shelf or a street market. Everything is made up of shapes and colours. The world is a constant source influences and inspiration.’ Over time, as her work has developed, she has been increasingly compelled towards abstraction, through which she feels able to communicate an energy which is untethered by the constraints of realism. She enjoys playing with light, depth and movement in her art to give it immediacy and to draw a viewer into the composition. Catherine also enjoys poetry, and her works occasionally have accompanying narratives. Catherine views visual and written art...
