“The Song of Summer Irises" by Natalya Mougenot: A Vivid Symphony of Emotion and Bloom

A captivating blend of post-Impressionism, Expressionism, and Art Brut, The Song of Summer Irises stands as a testament to French artist Natalya Mougenot's distinctive voice in contemporary floral painting. This vibrant oil-on-cotton-board work offers a dynamic interpretation of blue irises, conveyed through bold, impasto brushstrokes that animate the canvas with palpable energy and depth.

Mougenot's palette dances between rich blues and purples, set against a backdrop of abstract greens and warm golden hues—a composition that evokes a breezy, sunlit garden in full bloom. The thick application of paint lends the work a tactile, almost sculptural quality, inviting viewers to not just observe but to feel the essence of summer's fleeting beauty. The expressive, swirling strokes add a sense of motion and emotion, blending natural vitality with a modern, abstract flair.

Part of Natalya's ongoing Floral series, this painting exemplifies her unique approach: a single, immersive sitting in which she becomes one with the canvas, channeling pure emotion and intuition without retouching or reworking the piece afterward. Her process is deeply personal, grounded in spontaneity and sincerity. As she explains, “In my art, I embrace a blend of naïve art and authenticity… focusing on raw emotions and personal experiences rather than technical precision."

Mougenot's work is rooted in the principles of authenticity and simplicity. She deliberately pares down her compositions to their essential elements, allowing her message to emerge with clarity and emotional resonance. This approach invites an intimate and honest connection between the artwork and its viewer—art that doesn't shout but sings, quietly and powerfully.

Each of her paintings is a one-of-a-kind original, signed on both the front and back, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The Song of Summer Irises is sold unframed, offering collectors the freedom to present it in a way that best suits their personal space. While the painting may be framed with or without glass, oil on board does not require glazing.

Interior photos are included for inspiration, though colors may vary slightly due to digital display differences.

About the Artist:

Born in 1981 in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, Natalya Mougenot has called Lyon, France home since 2003. Her multicultural upbringing during the final decades of the Soviet Union informs her art with a unique perspective on identity, emotion, and transformation. What began as a therapeutic outlet has blossomed into an internationally recognized body of work that explores themes of femininity, resilience, and natural beauty.

Mougenot's expressive style and fearless use of color have placed her works in private collections worldwide. Through her art, she creates more than visual impressions—she builds emotional bridges, inviting viewers to connect deeply with their own inner landscapes.

Natalya Mougenot, Song of summer irises
France  • 1981

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.
