This contemporary abstract expressionist woman's portrait "Serenity of the Woman" was created by French artist Natalya Mougenot as part of her ongoing series dedicated to Women. Through this body of work, Mougenot explores the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of the feminine experience—emphasizing themes of introspection, resilience, and inner peace.

In Serenity of the Woman, Mougenot presents a strikingly minimalist yet emotionally charged figure. The subject's contemplative expression is rendered with expressive brushwork and a vibrant palette dominated by yellow and green, enveloping the face in a luminous aura. These colors, symbolically linked to vitality, growth, and renewal, create a bold visual contrast that amplifies the work's emotional intensity while underscoring the woman's quiet strength.

While the figure is abstracted, the eyes are depicted with deliberate clarity—serving as portals into an inner world marked by calmness and introspection. The surrounding background, a swirling fusion of color and movement, further emphasizes the figure's solitude and emotional self-containment. This interplay between the energetic backdrop and the serene subject captures a tension between the external world and internal stillness, a hallmark of Mougenot's expressive style.

At the heart of Mougenot's artistic approach are three core values: authenticity, sincerity, and honesty. These principles are deeply embedded in Serenity of the Woman, informing every gesture and tonal decision. The work does not aim to idealize, but to evoke a genuine emotional presence—one that is raw, contemplative, and true. The simplicity of form and the power of color serve not as aesthetic choices alone, but as vehicles for emotional truth.

Serenity of the Woman is more than a portrait—it is a meditative exploration of the feminine spirit. Through abstraction and expressionism, Mougenot creates space for reflection on what it means to be a woman, to feel deeply, and to inhabit one's emotional world with grace and dignity. It is a quiet yet powerful testament to the complexity and beauty of inner serenity.

This piece is painted with professional-grade acrylics on heavyweight, acid-free paper. A final layer of protective varnish enhances both its tactile quality and visual intensity. The work is sold unframed, giving collectors the flexibility to choose a frame that suits their space. As the painting conforms to standard sizes, framing is simple and accessible.

To inspire presentation, images of the piece framed in various interior settings are included.

The painting is shipped flat (not rolled) in a secure box from France and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance.

Natalya Mougenot, Serenity of the woman
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.
