Born in the year 1961 in Brno (Czechoslovakia). His grandfather was a famous Czech literary scholar J.V.Pojer who founded the prestigious Publishing House Atlantis.

He is excellent not only in graphic art but he is also admired in Central Europe, especially in Germany for his brilliant free graphic compositions. Jan Blaha is a member of the Hollar artist Group.

   "I like to use the technique of etching which offers me the application of various expression methods. Plenty of my drawings and artistic works are dry point, because this style of art provides a special quality of expression. Among my latest work predominates the technique of mezzotint. Mezzotint is for me unique thanks to its ability to create soft transitions from velvet dephts into shiny lights."

His works are included in collecion of Euro Art Gallery, Victoria, BC, Canada.
