Vita Banko

Vita Banko is a contemporary abstract artist working across painting, collage, and mixed media. She graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts and in 2011 founded TypeandStuff, a platform that marked the beginning of her independent, research-driven artistic practice. She lives and works between Vilnius, Berlin, and Madrid.

Her work investigates the relationship between form, color, and material, exploring abstraction as a visual language. Working on canvas and wood, she constructs compositions that balance intuition with structural rigor, often incorporating experimental mixed-media techniques. Collage and layering allow her to examine texture, spatial tension, and the dialogue between chance and control.

Through her practice, Vita Banko engages with both the visual and conceptual potential of materials, inviting viewers to reflect on perception, structure, and the boundaries between design and pure abstraction.
