Hi! I am Naïma, a French artist, and I paint the wild feminine energy. In this article, I aim to share what inspires me in this season and how painting has helped me in my journey.
The autumn equinox, also known as Mabon, is a sacred moment in the year when day and night are in perfect balance. For me, it has always felt like a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and honor the cycles of both nature and the feminine spirit.
In my art, I explore this connection between balance and beauty, and between wildness and softness.
What Is Mabon and Why It Matters
Mabon is the time of the harvest, when the fruits of summer are gathered, and we prepare for the quiet of winter. It is a season of gratitude, balance, and letting go of what no longer serves us. Just like nature, we too are asked to honor our own inner harvest: the growth, lessons, and seeds we have nurtured in the past months.
The Feminine Energy of the Autumn Equinox
There is something profoundly feminine about Mabon. The equinox embodies the duality we all carry within us: light and dark, strength and gentleness, action and rest.
It mirrors the sacred feminine energy that lives in cycles, always flowing, always renewing.
For women, this is a reminder to slow down, listen inwardly, and trust the rhythm of life.
How My Art Reflects Feminine Cycles and Nature
In my paintings, I bring together women, wild animals, and elements of nature: wolves, eagles, flowers, and butterflies. Each symbolizes a facet of the feminine: intuition, freedom, transformation, and strength.
During the autumn season, I often feel called to create works that hold both fire and softness, a reflection of the wild feminine energy and the stillness we meet at Mabon.
My art becomes a mirror, inviting you back to your own feminine essence.
Creativity as a Harvest: Returning to Your Inner Self
Just like the fields yield their last gifts before winter, creativity asks us to gather what is ready and release what is not. Picking up a brush, writing a word, or simply dreaming can be your way of honoring this sacred time.
For me, each painting is part of my own healing journey, a harvest of emotions, colors, and intuition. Creating is how I reconnect to myself, and my wish is that my art inspires you to do the same.
Celebrate Mabon With Feminine-Inspired Art
This season, may you gift yourself a moment of stillness and beauty.
Let the colors of autumn and the whispers of your own heart guide you. If one of my feminine artworks speaks to you, know that it carries the same spirit of Mabon: balance, gratitude, and the wild sacred energy of the feminine.

The Importance of Reflection During Mabon
As we embrace the autumn equinox, it’s essential to take a moment for reflection. This season encourages us to look back on our personal journeys. What have you learned? What have you let go of?
Reflecting on these questions can deepen your connection to the cycles of nature and your own life.
Embracing Change and Transformation
Mabon is also about change. Just as the leaves transform and fall, we too can embrace transformation. This is a time to shed old habits and make space for new growth.
Consider what you want to cultivate in the coming months. What dreams do you wish to nurture?
Connecting with Nature
Nature plays a vital role in our understanding of Mabon. Spend time outdoors, observe the changes around you, and feel the energy of the season.
Whether it’s a walk in the woods or simply sitting in your garden, connecting with nature can inspire your creativity and enhance your artistic expression.
Art as a Reflection of the Seasons
Art is a powerful medium to express the essence of each season. During autumn, I find myself drawn to warm colors and earthy tones. These hues reflect the beauty of the changing landscape.
Incorporating these colors into your own creative work can help you connect with the energy of Mabon.
Finding Balance in Your Life
Mabon teaches us about balance. Just as day and night are equal during the equinox, we too must strive for balance in our lives.
Consider how you can create harmony between work and rest, action and reflection. Finding this balance can lead to greater fulfillment and joy.
The Role of Community in Celebrating Mabon
Celebrating Mabon can also be a communal experience. Gather with friends or family to share a meal, reflect on the season, and express gratitude.
Creating a ritual around this time can strengthen your connections and deepen your appreciation for the cycles of life.
Conclusion: Embracing the Spirit of Mabon
As we move through this season, let us embrace the spirit of Mabon. Honor your own journey and the wild feminine energy that resides within you.
May your creativity flourish, and may you find peace and balance in the beauty of autumn.
