“Quiet Mind" is an original contemporary portrait of a woman by Natalya Mougenot, created with acrylic paints and acrylic pens on heavyweight professional acid-free paper. The work is varnished and measures 59.4 x 42 cm (approximately 23.4 x 16.5 inches).
At its core, this painting is about honesty—emotional honesty more than visual perfection. The portrait does not try to idealise or polish the subject. Instead, it allows the viewer to meet a moment of inner life as it truly feels: layered, quiet, and slightly unresolved, like real human experience.
For Natalya Mougenot, painting women is not a stylistic choice but a deeply intuitive one. In her practice, the female figure becomes a space to explore emotional depth, sensitivity, and strength existing at the same time. She often expresses this idea in her own words, saying:
“I paint women because I recognise in them a language of emotion that is unfiltered. There is strength in vulnerability, and I want to show both without separating them."
She is drawn to portraits because the face holds something direct and unmasked. Another reflection she shares about her work is:
“A portrait is never just a face. It is a presence. I am not painting how someone looks, but how it feels to exist inside that moment."
In “Quiet Mind," this approach becomes very clear. The woman is not presented as an object of observation, but as a subject in her own inner world. With lowered or closed eyes, she appears turned inward—not absent, but deeply present. The painting suggests that stillness is not emptiness, but awareness.
Authenticity in her work also comes through expressive distortion and instinctive linework. Forms are stretched, softened, and reshaped to carry emotion rather than strict anatomical accuracy. This allows the portrait to move beyond realism into something more psychological and felt.
The colour palette—bright yellows, deep pinks, electric blues, and warm skin tones—adds another layer of honesty. Rather than smoothing out intensity, the colours coexist in tension, reflecting how calm and emotional energy often live together rather than separately.
Ultimately, “Quiet Mind" is a portrait of a woman, but also a portrait of a state of being. It invites the viewer into a moment of inner stillness that feels human, fragile, and real—where authenticity is not something constructed, but something revealed.

Presentation
Natalya is a contemporary  french artist living in Lyon. Â
She was born and grew up in Kazakhstan, the country known for its spacious steppes. Â
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, Â which proposes to look at the world from the position of the inner adult. Â
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. Â
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. Â
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.
