“As every year, at this time, I appeal for support for the children in Laski. We all know that among us, there are those who have less and need more. I warmly invite you to my ninth charity exhibition! My art concept is gaining depth and dimension, and our meeting will take place in four dimensions. I encourage you to invite friends and acquaintances. Thank you for your support.” -Błażej Łojewski
ABOUT THE CAUSE
Dr. Błażej Łojewski is supporting and inviting you to support the Towarzystwo Opieki nad Ociemniałymi (The Society for the Care of the Blind) in Laski, Poland. This organization, founded in 1911, is dedicated to helping the visually impaired by providing education, rehabilitation, and support, enabling blind and partially sighted individuals to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dr. Błażej Łojewski is a true Renaissance man—a physician and dentist by education, a double-specialty medical doctor by training, and a scientist and art lover. As the creator of “Psychism,” a revolutionary concept in art, he transforms passive viewers into creators and performers.
The term “Reductionism,” introduced to the art world by Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel, perfectly complements “Psychism.” Reductionism posits that less information provided to our brains stimulates more imagination. Blaze’s art combines minimalism, monochromatism, total abstraction, and psychoanalytical charts, aiming to stimulate the soul, not analyze it.
Blaze refers to his works as “The Tools”—tools designed to ignite viewers’ imagination. The structure of his paint creates shadows on a white background, altering effects and impressions. His works have no defined orientation and can be observed from all sides, even from behind. Viewers can manipulate these “Tools,” just as the “Tools” manipulate viewers.
“You don’t see what you see, and I want you to see what you want to see.”
Blaze’s art is uniquely accessible—simple and even readable by blind individuals.
