Evelīna Paula Zandere is a Latvian visual artist whose painting practice centres on emotionally charged, associative landscapes. Her work explores the path towards emotional independence, translating personal experiences and inner processes into atmospheric visual environments.

 

Zandere graduated from the Painting Department of the Janis Rozentāls Art School in 2022 and completed her BA in Painting at the Art Academy of Latvia in 2026.

 

The artist describes her practice: "My creative work is fundamentally related to the human longing for perfection and clarity that comes with the feeling of beauty. As the digitalisation of life has disrupted the natural human connection with reality, I feel that experiencing beauty can recover it. I emphasize the process of longing in art, because in this contemplation, we can organize our aims and values. When painting, I use symbolism borrowed from nature, as it is self-sufficient and visually reflects the processes of the human inner world."
