How Art Brings Us Back to Ourselves | Lenka Orlovská Interview with Aaron Jack

In this episode of Artist to Art, Aaron Jack sits down with Lenka Orlovská for a thoughtful conversation about creating in uncertain times, identity, artistic flow, and how art can bring us back to ourselves.

Recorded during a moment of political tension, social uncertainty, and pandemic disruption, this conversation moves between the personal and the artistic. Lenka reflects on how the early pandemic affected her creative life, including a period where she stopped making art altogether for the first time in her life, and what it took to reconnect with her practice.

The discussion explores how creativity can feel like both a lifeline and a mirror—something deeply tied to identity, purpose, and emotional survival. Lenka shares how she returned to painting by creating for herself rather than for an audience, and how that shift helped bring back a sense of joy, stillness, and flow.

Aaron and Lenka also talk about:
what it means to be an artist during strange and uncertain times
the loss of creative momentum and the return of artistic identity
making work without judgment
finding flow, stillness, and presence through art
how social media can become a stage, a theater, and a creative dialogue
using painting videos and process-sharing to encourage others to create
the transformation of designer bags, shoes, and found objects into personal artworks
performance art, theater, costume design, and storytelling as part of visual practice
slowness, travel, curiosity, and how to preserve what matters from difficult times

Lenka also shares insights into her process of painting on bags, shoes, and travel objects, often cutting apart and reconstructing vintage luxury materials into new works filled with text, memory, symbolism, and hidden details. The conversation touches on the tension between fashion and fine art, the theatricality of Instagram, and the importance of creating even when self-doubt is present.

This is a rich artist-to-artist conversation about creativity, vulnerability, process, transformation, and staying present in a chaotic world.
