RIGHT TO BE YOURSELF | Original Contemporary Abstract Painting

Original contemporary abstract acrylic painting from the series New Rights for Women in the 21st Century, exploring inner strength, self-awareness and personal freedom. 30 × 30 cm, 2026.

New Rights for Women in the 21st Century is a new conceptual series by Nataly Ustinova exploring a fundamental question: what happens when a woman stops living according to inherited expectations and begins to define her own way of being?

Each artwork in the series represents a new inner right — the freedom to choose, to question, to create a life beyond inherited social and family patterns.

Right to Be Yourself is the first statement of the series.

The composition is centred around a vivid green vertical flow emerging through deep burgundy, red, black, white and grey. The central movement becomes a visual metaphor for the inner axis — the personal source of strength that allows us to remain connected to ourselves while surrounded by external influences.

The painting invites the viewer to ask:

What do I think?
What do I feel?
What do I actually want?
Can I say no?
Am I living from my own centre — or trying to be convenient for others?

For Ustinova, reconnecting with this inner centre is an essential part of conscious living. Her artistic research explores the relationship between subconscious patterns, consciousness, emotional states and human behaviour.

The artwork can function as a visual anchor for self-awareness and inner strength within a contemporary living space, studio or private environment.

For European collectors, this work offers not only an original abstract artwork, but an entry point into an evolving conceptual body of work examining women’s autonomy, inherited patterns and the freedom to create one’s own life.

“I believe that art is capable not only of reflecting human consciousness, but also of participating in its evolution.”
