I’m Daukantė, an illustrator from Lithuania with a passion for quirky objects. I’m not big on formalities, but I hold two degrees: a BA in Graphic Design (Vilnius Academy of Arts) and a MA in Information Design (Design Academy Eindhoven). The latter is renowned for encouraging conceptual thinking and experimentation, which led me to seek inspiration in the opposite direction. It’s the casual everyday situations that I find most intriguing. Often an idea for a drawing comes from a pun I enjoy. Being visually minded, I have a soft spot for words. Words tend to suggest a narrative that I happily build on throughout my process. Popular culture is another dimension I exploit in my works as it emphasize the absurdity of our world. Whether it’s Cher saying her last goodbye only to do another farewell tour the next year or Tiger Woods managing his infidelities in the woods, everyday is filled with great stories to laugh and marvel at.

ARTSY FARTSY has 11 works by Daukantė. The work returns again and again to humour and summer.

Where the work fits

Many of the works are suited to the living room and the hallway.

Every print is made to order in our studio in Copenhagen on 230 g matte fine art paper, in five sizes from 21×30 to 100×140 cm, with frames in oak and black for all of them. Want it ready to hang? Our framing service fits the frame before it ships. Meet more of the people behind the prints in meet the artists.
