"Emerald Grace" is a contemporary figurative portrait by French artist Natalya Mougenot, depicting a faceless female figure adorned with luminous emerald jewelry—an expressive celebration of feminine beauty, dignity, and quiet inner strength.
The woman's silhouette, intentionally simplified and without facial features, invites universality and projection. Her presence is elevated by a striking emerald necklace and a long earring, which become the emotional focal points of the composition.
Rather than defining beauty through specific traits, Natalya emphasizes how subtle adornment can enhance a woman's sense of confidence, radiance, and self-presence.
Natalya Mougenot is a contemporary French artist, known for her expressive brushstrokes, bold color contrasts, and deliberately simplified, almost naïve forms. Her work prioritizes emotion over realism, resulting in paintings that feel both spontaneous and deeply intimate.
As she explains, “A painting cannot lie — people feel what is true and what is false." Authenticity and emotional honesty guide every gesture on the canvas.
"Emerald Grace" belongs to Natalya's ongoing Women series, in which she explores womanhood, resilience, identity, and transformation in the context of modern life.
The faceless figure suggests that a woman can be anyone, anywhere, while the jewelry acts as both armor and celebration—a way to reclaim softness, visibility, and personal power in a world where women often carry many roles at once.
Color plays a central role in Natalya's artistic language. Saturated blues, pinks, and emerald greens function as emotional signals rather than decorative choices.
“For me, color is the most direct way to speak about life," she says. “It connects emotion, energy, and truth." In this painting, color becomes light, transmitting optimism and a sense of inner glow.
Natalya's intuitive process is essential to her uniqueness. “What comes on the canvas is what lives inside me at that moment," she explains.
Painting as she feels rather than as she “should," she allows imperfection, raw gesture, and instinct to carry emotional truth. Each work becomes a direct extension of her inner state.
Influenced by artists such as Van Gogh and Matisse for their liberated use of color, and Cézanne for his structural approach to form, Natalya situates her work within a contemporary continuation of modernist exploration—where emotion, form, and color coexist in balance.
For collectors, "Emerald Grace" offers more than visual impact.
It is a statement piece that brings warmth, strength, and elegance into an interior. Ideal for contemporary, minimalist, or curated eclectic spaces, it resonates with art lovers who seek figurative art that is expressive, feminine, and deeply authentic—art that speaks quietly, yet stays present.

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.
