Artwork location: France
This contemporary figurative piece with abstract touches, depicting two women, was created by French artist Natalya Mougenot. Through her dynamic approach, Mougenot explores the intricate and emotional bond between the women, capturing both vulnerability and strength. The artwork titled "Sisters" portrays the two women in an intimate embrace, their forms interwoven with bold, expressive strokes that evoke a sense of raw connection. Mougenot employs a limited yet striking color palette dominated by deep blues and vibrant oranges, creating a powerful contrast that commands attention. The women's faces, shadowed and contemplative, suggest a shared introspection, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexity of their relationship.
In blending abstract elements with figurative representation, Mougenot invites a personal interpretation of the narrative, allowing the viewer to engage with the emotional undercurrent of the piece. The gestural lines and textured medium lend a tactile, unrefined quality to the artwork, amplifying its emotional depth and intimacy.
What makes Mougenot's work even more captivating is the unique nature of each piece. As an artist who works entirely in the present moment, she cannot repeat her own creations. Each artwork is an expression of her emotional state and artistic vision at a specific point in time, making every piece a one-of-a-kind reflection of her evolving process.
At its core, the piece exemplifies three essential principles of artistic creation: authenticity, simplicity, and art naïve. The authenticity in Mougenot's work emerges through the unfiltered portrayal of emotion, while the simplicity is conveyed in the pared-down forms and pure color choices that allow the emotional impact to shine through. The art naïve quality is evident in the rawness of the brushstrokes and the unpolished, almost primal representation of the women, evoking a childlike honesty and spontaneity. Together, these elements form a poignant and evocative study of human connection, vulnerability, and the power of shared experience.
This unique and emotionally charged artwork will undoubtedly add a contemporary touch to any interior, making it not only a visual centerpiece but also a source of deep reflection and conversation.
Created with oil pastels on heavyweight professional acid-free paper, this artwork is sold unframed, giving you the freedom to frame it according to your personal taste and the style of your space. Pictures of the painting framed are provided for inspiration.
The artwork is signed on the front and back by the artist, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance.
As a one-of-a-kind original piece, it will be carefully packaged for international shipping from France to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

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.
