Sylvie Julkowski-Egard

Sylvie JULKOWSKI-EGARD lives and works in Douai in the North of France. She was trained at the Douai School of Art in DERIC's workshop from 2006 to 2009. She primarily draws inspiration from her environment, which is why she works in series on recurring subjects: Urban Landscapes, My Little Girls, genre scenes where she addresses themes, Reflections on the Passage of Time, vanities surrounding the automotive world, portraits, where she combines technique with creativity.

In her portraits, she represents women not as a pretext for a political, social, or philosophical discourse, but as integral parts of the creative process itself. They allow her to unleash her creativity, to go further in the realization, and to add a poetic dimension to the work. By marrying tradition and modernity, juxtaposing realistic elements and abstract motifs, a fusion between the tangible and the intangible is created.

She received the Gold Medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris in 2026, the Grand Prix de Barbizon in 2022, and the Silver Medal in Vittel in 2021. Her work is collected in France, the United States, and Europe. She has been published in the magazine "Artists" and "Pleasures of Painting."
