About the Item
This contemporary expressionist still life titled “The Window of Joy” by French artist Natalya Mougenot emerges as a vivid meditation on simplicity, presence, and emotional authenticity. Part of her ongoing series devoted to the quiet beauty of everyday moments, this painting invites viewers to pause and reconnect with what is often overlooked: a bouquet in bloom, the sea beyond a window, the gentle expanse of a blue sky.
“At a time when everything moves so fast,” Mougenot explains, “I feel it is more important than ever to stop—even for a second—and really look. That’s where life is.” Her work captures not only what is seen but what is felt in the stillness of such moments. The artist believes that the modern pace of life tends to sweep us into a state of constant urgency, leaving little room to appreciate the present. “Art,” she says, “must be authentic. It should come from a place of truth, from what moves us deeply. That’s the only way it can move others.”
In The Window of Joy, this ethos comes to life through an evocative seascape framed by rustic wooden shutters. A cascading green plant in a vivid cobalt-blue pot stands at the center, resting on a sun-drenched yellow surface that radiates warmth and optimism. Mougenot’s bold, expressive brushstrokes infuse the scene with vitality, as if the painting itself breathes. The contrasting hues—the lush greenery against the luminous yellow, the deep blues of the ocean meeting the soft, swirling sky—create a symphony of color and movement.
This interplay between the wildness of nature and the comfort of the interior evokes a sense of harmony. The painting does not merely depict a view; it becomes a window into a state of mind—one of gratitude, joy, and quiet reflection. The natural elements—the flourishing plant, the endless sea, the open sky—mirror the emotional landscape the artist invites us to inhabit.
Ultimately, The Window of Joy is more than a still life; it is a gentle call to slow down and cherish the fleeting beauty around and within us. It is a celebration of color, nature, and emotional presence—an invitation to live more fully in the moment.

About the Artist:
Originally from Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, and now based in Lyon, France, Natalya Mougenot has spent over two decades refining her artistic voice. Her multicultural background and personal experience inform her bold, expressive works, which have found homes in private collections around the world.
Natalya’s distinctive visual language blends Abstract Expressionism, Impressionism, Art Naïf, and Art Brut—resulting in paintings that are raw, instinctive, and emotionally resonant. Across her work, three values guide her: authenticity, sincerity, and honesty.
“Authenticity is everything,” she says. “People can always feel when something is real—or when it’s not. I want my work to be honest, to come from a place that’s true.”
In addition to painting, Natalya is also a passionate photographer. Her photographic work—also featured on this platform—mirrors her painterly sensibility: a poetic, observational approach that captures the quiet power of everyday life. For her, photography is both inspiration and a form of presence, often serving as visual sketches for future paintings or existing as standalone works.

Natalya Mougenot id a french artist living in France for more than 20 years. 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. Natalya manipulates different mediums without a preconceived plan since she is guided by what she wants to express at the moment by embracing the quality of my materials. She does not deny that her artworks reflect her intuitive approach and her love for vibrant colors which represent her who she is. Natalya says she is never able to create the same piece more than once. Sometimes she paints from photos or images. Sometimes she paints from memory. She tells to herself : "Just be yourself when you create ".
