Evelina Dovsten is an artist based in Stockholm.

In her human endeavor to try to understand reality, Evelina Dovsten aims again and again to translate it, simplify it and understand it. There in the simplification, and in the power to convince, the scientific-, the esoteric- and the sacred aesthetics meet. She uses them all and the works become a conclusion —> a map —> a self-portrait.

Practical and theoretical knowledge fade together and in the works there is an aspiration to always highlight and point out the importance of tacit knowledge. The works themselves visually tell about how they are made. By preserving and collecting knowledge in materials, she wants to activate our thoughts about how we preserve knowledge and how it is passed on.

Evelina Dovsten is educated at Konstfack (MFA 2019) in Stockholm, and has a studio in G-studion, Gustavsberg. She is a co-creator of the Konsthantverkspodden, and just launched the book: Den Moderna Sfinxen written together with Andreas Nobel (Otsium Books).
