Yulia Katan

Yulia Katan (b. 1997) is a Berlin-based artist working with drawing, painting, and sculpture. Her practice investigates how domestic spaces persist in memory and become translated into material form. She studied Fine Arts and Design at Grekov Art College in Odesa, graduating in 2018.

Since relocating to Berlin, Katan has participated in group exhibitions including Heartbeat at Wolf & Galentz Gallery and Inside/Outside at BAS CS Gallery, while also working as a scenic painter. She is a recipient of funding from Stiftung Kunstfonds (Bonn). Her recent work focuses on visual memory, the sensory charge of everyday environments, and the ways recollection can crystallize into objects, surfaces, and spatial fragments.
