Born in Ukraine in 1993, Katia Lifshin lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel. She studied art at Pima College in Tucson, Arizona, before continuing her practice independently, gradually shaping a distinctive visual language.

Artemin is a human gene located on the human chromosome 1 (1p34.1), so called as ART. Its main function is related to the development of neuroblast and the peripheral nervous system.

Artemin Gallery was founded in 2020, and our name was inspired by the gene, aims to have a keen and rapid perception of art, similar to the transmission of nerves. We committed to discovering the connection between art and everyday life, searching for potential artists, and exploring the infinite possibilities of contemporary art.
