About

“The heart and mind are like a garden. They can both grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there”?

Bryan Lysaght Jr.

BLJ the Artist is a New York–based contemporary artist known for creating work that lives at the intersection of urban energy, emotional healing, and visual poetry. A true multidisciplinary creative, BLJ works across painting, mixed media, and installation to explore themes of identity, inner peace, and transformation.

Each piece pulses with what BLJ calls “Big Apple Energy”—a blend of high-vibration creativity, soulful intention, and the ever-moving rhythm of city life. With roots in wellness culture and a deep appreciation for both minimalism and maximalist emotion, BLJ’s work invites viewers to slow down and reconnect—with themselves and with the world around them.

Featured in galleries, wellness spaces, and curated art events, BLJ is building a visual language that feels as luxurious as it is emotionally resonant. Their studio practice is not just about producing art, but about crafting sacred visual experiences that inspire clarity, love, and bold creative living. Some of his collector include Fabolous, Chris Brickly, Dave East, Dj Camilo, Dj SpinKing, Dj pretty Lou, Lil Cease, T'yanna Wallace, and by Eric Adams (Mayor of New York, NY), and a permanent 9/11 tribute placement for BK Borough Hall Brooklyn, NY.
