An Englishman in New York – Great Dane Portrait with Burger.
“An Englishman in New York" blends aristocratic flair with surrealist irony in a mixed media artwork. This 60×80 cm canvas features a poised Great Dane in a tuxedo and top hat, presenting a cheeseburger on a silver platter — a visual juxtaposition of dignity and playfulness. Set against a stylized vintage New York skyline, the painting pays tribute to timeless elegance while embracing absurdity.
Crafted using acrylics and layered collage textures, the piece offers a rich tactile experience: gleaming skyscrapers, soft vintage hues, a crisp bow tie, and, of course, the juicy burger front and center. The muted city tones amplify the regal tones of the dog's expression and attire, while blue eyes and a golden sesame bun provide focal points of contrast.
Color Palette:
Muted urban greys and taupes
Accents of gold, sesame yellow, and deep black
Burgundy, beige, chrome, and creamy burger tones

Presentation
Julia Shilo was born on 1982, in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Currently she lives and works in Burgas, Bulgaria.
Since 2021 Julia has participated in various international group exhibitions as well as held two solo exhibitions in Bulgaria and Ukraine. Other milestones in her artistic career include participation in the London Art Biennale (2025) and Silver Award in the international virtual art exhibition “Amazing Animals 2025” (Camelback Gallery).
This year, Julia is scheduled to participate in the group exhibitions “Intersection of Realities” and “Cats vs. Dogs: A Portrait of Devotion” by Artseeker Gallery in New York.
Julia Shilo is a mixed-media artist whose work centers on nostalgia, memory, and emotional authenticity. She draws inspiration from childhood impressions and integrates vintage materials—such as fragments of antique books, sheet music, and handwritten letters—into layered compositions.
Working in mixed media, she weaves together fragments, layering them with acrylic, watercolor, pastel, and collage. These materials are not just visual elements, but carriers of meaning—evoking history, time, and human connection. By integrating vintage paper ephemera, she bridges the past and present, embedding her compositions with hidden contrasts and symbolic textures.
Her portraits and figurative pieces balance realism with expressive abstraction, capturing not only external beauty but also inner emotional depth. Relocating to Bulgaria marked a turning point in her artistic vision, opening themes that speak across cultural boundaries. Her work is a tribute to the vanishing tactile world—where books, letters, and handwritten words remain powerful symbols of memory, knowledge, and human presence.
