Artist Spotlight: Katia Lifshin

A selection of recent work by artist Katia Lifshin (previously featured here). Nature is a recurring theme and point of reference in Lifshin’s practice. Specifically unconventional natural phenomena such as bioluminescence or spiral tree trunks. Hers is a surrealist world, inspired by both everyday life and psychedelic experiences. Her works also express a constant shift between light and darkness — a duality that reflects an artistic interpretation of constantly-shifting emotional states. Oscillating between the human and the non-human, Lifshin’s work connects human experiences and their natural environments. Her feminine figures use their physical and mental flexibility to break boundaries and find their own way in the world.
