« (...) Julie Navarro's work is openly and explicitly perceived and worked. In recent years, she has indeed been calling these her 'Inaperçus', light, fragile works, all in transparency, in which fragile emotions and light desires, or at least desires that should appear so, pass through almost nothing. I particularly like the Powder Roses series, so discreet and yet so radiantly sensual.In the hodgepodge of contemporary art, anything is possible, and Julie Navarro's work is no exception. is no exception to this profusion - indeed, it takes advantage of it. What now makes the difference between strong works and those that are less so, or not at all, is their poetic charge, that subtle "je ne sais quoi" that holds us back beyond curiosity. The unseen is the almost untraceable place of this poetic force. Julie Navarro invites us to enter and dwell there. »
