Evelīna Deičmane’s work, which often makes reference to her national background, uses a wide range of techniques, among which sound and visual elements. Her conceptual approach is tempered by existential moods and human experiences, creating a space where sorrow collides with happiness, and drama is diffused with humour. Deičmane has participated in numerous exhibitions and biennales since 2002 such as the 12th International Cairo Biennale (2010), Manifesta 7 (Bozen/Bolzano, 2008), the 2nd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2007) and the 15th Biennale of Sydney (2006). Together with Miks Mitrēvics she also represented Latvia at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009).
