"Seaside Pause" is an original contemporary abstract impressionist seascape painting by French artist Natalya Mougenot, created for collectors seeking expressive, emotionally rich coastal artwork that brings calm, light, and poetic depth into modern interiors.
In this luminous work, a solitary boat rests near the shore, its mast and delicate, translucent sails rising into a sky animated by shifting turquoise, aquamarine, and muted golden tones. The scene feels suspended in time — a poetic balance between stillness and movement, silence and anticipation.
Natalya Mougenot's style carries subtle influences of Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Vincent van Gogh, visible in her structural sensitivity, emotional use of color, and expressive brushwork. From Cézanne she drew the idea of inner construction; from Matisse, the liberation of color from strict representation; and from van Gogh, the vibrant, tactile energy of the stroke. However, she has developed a singular artistic voice by prioritizing emotion over form and intuition over technique, creating paintings that speak through atmosphere rather than narrative.
Her approach to painting is deeply intuitive and spontaneous. Natalya works in a single uninterrupted session, painting in the exact moment of emotion and rarely returning to the canvas. For her, the truth of the work lives in the first breath of creation, in the raw transmission of mood and inner movement.
As she states:
“I paint in the moment. If I stop, the truth disappears."
“I don't go back to correct. I let the first emotion stay alive."
Energy is central to her creative process. Each brushstroke acts as a carrier of inner vibration, transferring something invisible yet tangible from the artist to the surface. The semi-transparent sails glow with layered pinks, yellows, and blues, suggesting fragility, hope, and inner light, while the sea beneath vibrates with rhythmic textures that evoke memory, longing, and quiet strength.
Natalya's philosophy of authenticity and honesty is at the heart of this work:
“Authenticity in art is not about perfection. It is about truth."
“When I paint, I give my energy to the canvas so the viewer can feel something real."
"Seaside Pause" becomes more than a seascape. It is a moment of breathing space, a gentle suspension between two journeys, where silence holds warmth and stillness carries life.

Presentation
Natalya is a contemporary french artist living in Lyon.
She was born and grew up in Kazakhstan, the country known for its spacious steppes.
She arrived in France 2003. Since that moment she loves her adoptive country.
She started painting in 2017 and used it as a therapeutic and emotional release during times of crisis. She incorporates this therapeutic approach in her artistic creative process till now.
In her artistic practice she refers to the terms of metamodernism, which proposes to look at the world from the position of the inner adult.
As an artist and as a woman she translates the experience of her personal search for balance based on harmony between mind, soul and body. This balance, in her opinion, is the pillar for the inner adult.
Important components of her work are authenticity, soulfulness, sincerity, emotionality and honesty. She immerses the objects and the characters in the world where there is no falsity, rudeness, loneliness and indifference.
She works rapidly and is constantly sensitive to the details.
Her artistic process is a fine balance between a pre-meditation and spontantainty which helps her to create her expressive atmospheric artworks with a modern touch of impressionism by cultivating a naive art approach.
