“Lavender and Lemons" is a radiant contemporary still life by French artist Natalya Mougenot, a work that celebrates color, emotion, and authenticity. In this vibrant composition, warm yellows, oranges, and coral pinks merge with deep turquoise contours and violet accents, creating a luminous dialogue between lemons, wine glasses, a bottle, and a vase filled with expressive lavender. What begins as an ordinary domestic moment becomes, in Mougenot's hands, a poetic exploration of presence and emotional truth.
Influenced by the joyful palette of Henri Matisse, Mougenot transforms the still-life genre into a space of spontaneity and sincerity. Her bold lines, expressive gestures, and glowing color fields form a style that is unmistakably her own — intuitive, energetic, and emotionally direct.
At the core of her approach lies a deep commitment to authenticity. As she often says:
“A painting can't lie — it always reveals the truth of its creator."
“Authenticity is not a style — it's a presence."
“True art begins where pretending ends."
For Mougenot, painting is not a decorative act but an ethical one.
“Art must touch the core of the artist. If it doesn't, it's just decoration."
She believes that viewers instinctively sense whether a work was created from genuine emotion or merely from technique. Each brushstroke must rise from the inner self, not from expectations or trends. She embraces imperfection, impulsive gesture, and raw emotional traces, convinced that sincerity resonates more deeply than precision ever could.
She explains:
“Authenticity in art is not a choice, it's a necessity. I paint what I feel, not what I'm expected to show."
In “Lavender and Lemons," this conviction is fully alive. The lemons glow with immediacy, the glasses pulse with warm light, and the lavender leans gently across the canvas in shimmering violets and greens. The scene feels joyful yet calm — what the artist calls dopamine art: art that uplifts, soothes, and reconnects us with the simple, nourishing pleasures of daily life.
The painting was created on cotton stretched canvas, a surface that supports the layered, instinctive way Mougenot works. Her process is entirely intuitive: she begins without rigid plans, letting each gesture emerge from the last in an emotional conversation with color and form. The result is a composition that feels alive, spontaneous, and profoundly honest.
“Lavender and Lemons" is therefore much more than a still life — it is a declaration of artistic philosophy. A luminous, sincere work where color carries emotion, where the everyday becomes poetic, and where authenticity remains at the center of creation.

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.
