Depends on what you mean by "can". From the Wikipedia article:

"A living "artificial cell" has been defined as a completely synthetic cell that can capture energy, maintain ion gradients, contain macromolecules as well as store information and have the ability to mutate. Nobody has been able to create such a cell."



Completely synthetic, no, but I think that overlooks a lot.
