For the new #08 Issue, The NFT Magazine has decided to embrace a project aimed at empowering the visually impaired community, leaving a lasting impact on both the art world and people’s lives.
In fact, the artist Lukajan created “Braille” an unpublished NFT artwork that exemplifies the power of inclusivity and compassion, focusing on the need for art accessibility for blind people.
That’s why The NFT Magazine is going to have a double drop this month:
- ONE with the NFT cover of the #08 ISSUE
- ONE with the “BRAILLE” NFT where the artist will donate the proceeds to charities supporting and uplifting blind individuals.
“Braille” will soon be displayed in the magnificent Times Square of New York, and during an NFT Exhibition in Madrid.

Summary
ABOUT LUKAJAN
Born in Sicily in Acireale in 1982, he studied at the Art School and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania.
In 2020 he minted his first NFT “Sardinian Soul”, inspired by a fire that devastated over 20,000 hectares of land, burning woods, animals, houses and local activities.
He works with various techniques including painting, collage, applique; recycling waste material with which he create sculptures and installations.
Since 2020 he has been also experimenting in the world of Digital Art, minting several NFTs thanks to many collaborations: The NFT Mag – Cadaf.
He likes to associate physical and material art with music, entering a dimension of fusion of thoughts thanks to rhythmic-psychological motifs. For him, the main goal has always been to share my passion with others, aiming to convey messages of inclusion and love.
THE ARTWORK: “BRAILLE”
The artwork is specifically designed to exemplify the relationship between visually impaired people and the surrounding reality: in the foreground, the silhouette of a golden retriever stands out against a background that portrays the “absent signal” lines typical of CRT televisions.
These same lines symbolize the discomfort of the blind, while at the bottom, the writing “No Signal” and the phrase in Braille, which means “Happiness is not in having, but in being”.
The work was first conceived as an NFT, then made in its physical version on a 100x70cm canvas, which was donated to the “Institute for the blind” in Cagliari, Italy.
Now the NFT Artwork by Lukajan will be displayed in New York, specifically in Times Square, and Madrid, during an NFT exhibition.
The artist will donate a part of the proceeds to charities supporting and uplifting blind individuals
