Artwork location: France

This contemporary abstract expressionist woman's portrait was created by French artist Natalya Mougenot, and is part of her ongoing series dedicated to women — a powerful exploration of feminine resilience, emotional honesty, and the courage to be seen without disguise. Painted in acrylic on heavyweight professional acid-free paper, “Light Reborn" reveals the emergence of inner strength and clarity through bold, intuitive brushstrokes, vivid color contrasts, and raw emotional texture.

Here, the female figure is not a decorative subject but a psychological presence — fragmented, luminous, and deeply human. The expressive palette of turquoise, magenta, ochre, and deep emerald acts as an emotional map, guiding the viewer toward the heart of the portrait. Her gaze is direct, vulnerable and powerful at once, symbolizing the rebirth of light from darkness, and the intimate process of rebuilding oneself from within.

Influenced by abstract expressionism, art brut, and lyrical abstraction, Mougenot paints with instinct rather than calculation, embracing spontaneity, imperfection, and emotional truth over academic form. Her work echoes the honesty of Basquiat's intensity and the textural depth of de Staël, yet remains unmistakably her own — visceral, intuitive, and fearless.

This series dedicated to women celebrates inner battles, quiet victories, and the invisible strength that rises through adversity. Mougenot paints not how women look, but how they feel, and how their inner worlds pulse beneath the surface. Each brushstroke becomes a confession; each color, a memory or emotion.

As Natalya says:

“A painting can't lie — it always reveals the truth of its creator."
“The canvas and the artist's inner world are two halves of one whole."
“When the artist is false, the painting becomes silent."

Her creative process is rooted in presence: she paints only when emotion and intuition align, refusing to perform or please.

“Authenticity is not a style — it's a presence."
“True art begins where pretending ends."

Through this lens, “Light Reborn" becomes more than a portrait: it becomes a declaration of authenticity, a refusal to hide, a celebration of truth.

“Some paintings decorate walls; others reveal souls."
“Each brushstroke is a confession of who we are inside."

The artist seeks coherence between inner feeling and visible gesture:

“The most powerful art is born from coherence — between what we feel and what we show."
“Honesty in art is a quiet revolution against hypocrisy."

In this work, vulnerability becomes strength, fragility becomes fire, and light — once broken — returns brighter.

“Art becomes alive only when the artist dares to be real."

Natalya Mougenot, Light Reborn
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.
