Second Journey Day 62: Jakub Novák



Today, I met Jakub Novák, a local street artist in Prague's Old Town Square. His vibrant art captures the essence of the city's history and culture. Through his work, Jakub shared tales of Prague, each piece offering a window into the soul of this ancient city. During our conversation, he shared his journey from a corporate job to embracing the freedom of street art. He found true expression in the streets that have witnessed centuries unfold. I was inspired and sketched alongside Jakub. Our art became a silent dialogue between past and present. The Astronomical Clock chimed, marking moments in time, as our brushes marked moments on canvas. Today was a reminder of the transformative power of art. It can turn mere observers into storytellers. Each stroke is a testament to the enduring spirit of Prague. As the day waned, I left with a piece of Prague in my heart. I made a promise to return to the square where stories wait to be told and history breathes through the whispers of those willing to listen.
