"City Sophisticate" is a refined and whimsical mixed media artwork portraying a well-dressed Dalmatian enjoying a glass of whiskey with striking poise. Created using acrylics, charcoal, pastel, and collage on paper, this piece masterfully balances humor and elegance.
The Dalmatian, dressed in sleek black gloves, holds a crystal glass against a backdrop of vintage architectural sketches, old newspapers, and sepia-toned textures. The layered surface includes handwritten script and soft watercolor pencil strokes, creating a unique blend of classic charm and contemporary attitude.
This work is not only a visual delight for dog lovers and collectors of quirky animal art, but also a perfect piece for those who appreciate mixed media with character, personality, and narrative. The painting invites the viewer into a humorous and stylish alternate reality—where dogs embody human sophistication and taste.

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.
