In her striking new piece Lemon Light, French contemporary artist Natalya Mougenot invites us to pause and savor life's simplest pleasures. This evocative still life, painted in an Abstract Expressionist style, captures a fleeting summer moment—a sunlit table bearing just two lemons, a glass of water, and a blue bowl. Yet in its simplicity lies a quiet profundity. Mougenot doesn't just depict objects; she paints the atmosphere of a moment, the warmth of sunlight, and the soft hush of stillness.
Lemon Light is a gentle yet powerful reminder to find joy in the ordinary. With expressive brushwork and abstracted forms, the work transcends traditional still life conventions, offering instead an emotional landscape—a sensory memory rendered in light and color. The lemons, bright and vibrant, seem to glow with the essence of summer. The cool transparency of the water and the serene blue of the bowl create a balance of temperature and tone, evoking a peaceful pause, as if time itself has briefly stopped to admire the scene.
What elevates Lemon Light beyond simple representation is Natalya's distinctive painting technique. She blends watercolor and acrylic paints, a method that produces striking contrasts and a textural depth rarely seen in works on paper. Her choice of heavyweight, acid-free paper speaks to her commitment to both archival quality and a surface responsive enough to capture her expressive gestures. This combination allows her to build layers of emotion through color, transparency, and texture.
Natalya's intuitive approach is central to her artistic philosophy. Each work is created in a single sitting, a practice that ensures immediacy and authenticity. There is no preliminary sketch or rigid structure—only the raw honesty of the moment expressed through color and movement. This spontaneity is not accidental but stems from her deep personal values: authenticity, sincerity, and honesty. These are not just abstract ideals, but living truths visible in every brushstroke. Her work feels unguarded and genuine, full of expressive energy and emotional clarity.
The result is a piece like Lemon Light—intimate, joyful, and quietly transformative. It does not ask for interpretation, but rather offers a moment of connection. It resonates with anyone who has ever stopped to savor a warm afternoon, a glass of water, or the simple perfection of a ripe lemon.
Lemon Light (42 x 29.7 cm / 16.5 x 11.7 inches) is sold unframed, allowing collectors the freedom to choose a frame that reflects their personal aesthetic.
To help inspire this choice, interior photos with framing suggestions are for your inspiration.
Each painting is carefully packaged and shipped directly from France, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity to ensure provenance and integrity.
In a world often consumed by complexity and haste, Lemon Light is a gentle nudge to slow down, breathe, and cherish the ordinary. It is not just a painting—it is an invitation to be 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.
