This work depicts a woman sitting on the terrace of a café. Dressed in a bright red dress, she exudes a nonchalant elegance while sipping a drink. Her imposing sunglasses add a touch of mystery and glamour to her figure. The composition of the image is marked by a vibrant contrast between the intense reds of the dress and the dark blues of the background. The movement of the brushstrokes seems deliberately fluid, creating a visual dynamic that guides the eye around the canvas. The furniture of the café, especially the red and white striped chairs, accentuates the chic, Parisian ambiance of the painting. The background, although abstract, reinforces the urban atmosphere with faded shades that evoke the weathered walls of a city. The inscription "Barbizon" in the background seems expressively painted, suggesting an underlying story. What makes this work particularly unique is its ability to capture a moment of everyday life with an almost cinematic intensity, while perfectly balancing realism and abstraction. Every element, from textures to colors, was deliberately chosen to reinforce the visual and emotional identity of the scene.

Presentation
Sylvie JULKOWSKI-EGARD is essentially inspired by her environment, which is why she works in series on recurring subjects.
In the series "MY PETITES NANAS" the painter draws inspiration from situations she observes in society or in her entourage to deliver a personal interpretation (the break with "an ordinary earthquake", the rivalry in "The Chosen One" , Good and Evil in "Alter Ego", "L'emprise", etc...)
She works in collaboration with her daughter who serves as her model to create scenes that will support her works. She sometimes uses a few symbols that will serve as reading keys.
She uses all sorts of tools, brushes, spalters to express herself and a nuanced color palette. In her genre scenes she particularly develops the expression of the subject, the gaze, reflection of the soul, while the environment is painted in a more energetic way.
The series on "URBAN LANDSCAPES" allows the painter to approach a season that she likes for its shadows and its dazzling colors, summer.
She is mainly inspired by Paris, the city of light where she spends part of the year. Recently, she has focused on the human being in the city and she captures fleeting moments ("Urban Vibrations", "Convergence",...), small everyday moments (café terraces), with sometimes particular framing (“A summer break”).
She uses bright colors and all kinds of tools according to her favorite technique to make the subject vibrate.
"REFLECTIONS ON PASSING TIME": The painter has chosen to represent transport vehicles in the manner of the Vanities of yesteryear, that is to say by representing the wear and tear of time, rust, holes, dilapidation . She also favors a particular framing, bringing the object out of the limits of the painting to make it more imposing. Just like us, these vehicles are just passing by, the passage of time being inevitable. She paints vehicles with round, sensual shapes, in bright colors.
“THE PORTRAITS”: since around 2021, she has focused her work on what has always fascinated her, the human being. She paints in particular portraits where she focuses on the expression of people and gives free rein to her creativity by imagining clothes, hairstyles, accessories, etc... She uses all kinds of tools to translate what she feels. . She also uses thick or extremely diluted oil paint indiscriminately. The artwork is sketched out in peripheral areas while the model's expression or focal point is treated more precisely and neatly.
