Kristaps Porziņģis is one of Latvia’s biggest modern sports stars and one of the most distinctive talents in global basketball. Born in Liepāja, he rose from a promising youth player to an international sensation thanks to his rare combination of size, agility, and shooting ability. Standing 7’2” (2.21 m), Porziņģis is known for his dynamic offensive game, rim protection, and smooth three-point shot—earning him the nickname “The Unicorn” in the NBA.

Drafted by the New York Knicks, he quickly became a fan favorite, later playing pivotal roles for the Dallas Mavericks, Washington Wizards, and Boston Celtics. Along the way, he has represented Latvia with pride on the national team, inspiring a new generation of players.

Today, Porziņģis is not just a standout NBA athlete but also one of Latvia’s most recognizable global ambassadors, celebrated for bringing Baltic talent to the world stage.

Mark Rothko (born Markus Rothkowitz in Daugavpils, Latvia) is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and a central figure of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Known for his signature color field paintings—vast, glowing rectangles of color that seem to float on the canvas—Rothko sought to create emotional, spiritual experiences through simplicity and depth. His work is often described as meditative, immersive, and profoundly human.

Although Rothko spent most of his life in the United States, his Latvian roots shaped his early worldview, and today Latvia proudly celebrates him as one of its most important cultural figures. His birthplace in Daugavpils now hosts the Mark Rothko Art Centre, a major museum dedicated to his life and legacy.

Rothko’s art continues to inspire millions, reminding viewers that color alone can express the full range of human feeling.

Mikhail Baryshnikov is one of the most celebrated dancers in modern history—an icon whose name is synonymous with artistic excellence. Born in Riga, Latvia, he rose to fame as a prodigy of ballet, later becoming a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre and the New York City Ballet. His unmatched technique, expressive style, and innovative choreography helped redefine ballet for global audiences.

Beyond the stage, Baryshnikov also gained mainstream popularity through acting. Many know him from his role as Aleksandr “Sasha” Petrovsky in Sex and the City, where he played the charismatic Russian artist who briefly became Carrie Bradshaw’s love interest. His appearance on the show introduced him to an entirely new generation and highlighted his versatility beyond dance.

Today, Baryshnikov remains a cultural ambassador, artistic leader, and one of Latvia’s most internationally recognized figures.
