“Bound in Grace" is a contemporary figurative–abstract painting by French artist Natalya Mougenot, part of her ongoing series dedicated to women, solidarity, emotional connection, and the enduring strength of human bonds. This series, initiated in 2022, reflects the artist's deep concern for the growing absence of sincere, dependable relationships in modern life — both in art and in the everyday world.

In this composition, three faceless women occupy the canvas with gentle yet powerful presence. Their  forms are painted in warm tones of peach, rose, clay, and sienna, contrasted by deep strokes of navy and accents of yellow and crimson.

There is no literal gesture of touch — yet the connection is unmistakable.

The fluid contours, the leaning bodies, and the harmonious palette create a sense of unity, protection, and shared vulnerability.

The result is a quiet, intimate strength — a scene that feels less like a portrait and more like a shared pulse.

“Bound in Grace" expands on Natalya's long-term exploration of human connection — especially among women.
She sees this bond not as something decorative or sentimental, but as something necessary, almost sacred.

Natalya explains: “A sincere bond is a form of grace — delicate, but stronger than anything."

She adds : “In life, as in art, honesty is the foundation. Without authenticity, nothing holds."

She also shares : “We live surrounded by noise and appearances. True connection is the quiet space where we finally breathe."

This painting echoes her belief that in today's world — fast, curated, fragmented — we often lose sight of the profound emotional anchors that nourish us.

“Bound in Grace" becomes a symbolic reminder that strength is not solitary; it is shared, held in the invisible threads between people.

Natalya has grown far beyond her influences . Her style is unmistakably her own — a blend of figurative suggestion and abstract emotion, characterized by fluid, organic silhouettes and 
gestural brushwork that conveys energy and vulnerability.

Her women are not portraits; they are embodiments of emotional truth, symbols of connection, trust, and shared inner life.

Themes of human connection have long inspired Natalya . She found this theme in the works of Alice Neel who captured psychological honesty and in the works of  Frida Kahlo expressed bonds forged through pain and resilience.

Through this work, Natalya Mougenot offers a deeply contemporary reflection on what it means to stay connected in a world where everything moves quickly and feels increasingly superficial.

For Natalya this puece is her invitation: 
to slow down,
to recognize each other,
to stand together,
and to rediscover the beauty in honest, graceful relationships.

This piece  is a unique and powerful addition to Natalya's 
evolving series devoted to the modern human bond.

Natalya Mougenot, Bound in Grace
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.
