Liza Libenko

In this 41st episode, we sit down with Liza Libenko, one of the most distinctive voices of the emerging Czech art scene. Known for her raw material experimentation and symbolic visual language, Liza joins Filip Kartousek and Kamil Princ for an intimate conversation about destruction, beauty, and the enduring legacy of decadence.

Recorded at Karpuchina Gallery in Prague, the episode touches on her recent solo exhibition inspired by Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil, the ritual of burning her own paintings, and her fascination with circles, lunar symbolism, and the power of myth. Liza also reflects on her artistic education, her love of difficult materials like asphalt and iron, and the inner logic that drives her work—somewhere between philosophy, instinct, and obsession.
