Bahaiden
Bahaiden (born August 24th 1970) is a Kurdish international artist based in Mannheim, Germany. He is known as an ambassador for Kurdish art across the world, characterised by his style of art which focuses on combining his East Asian, Northern European and Middle Eastern influences.

Ba Haiden had a passion for art through his childhood, and left his fingerprints on Sulaymaniyah's art landscape in the late 1980s. His expansion into the international scene first began in Turkey, with his individual galleries and projects in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. After relocating to Germany, he continued developing his portfolio, culminating in galleries in cities such as Tokyo, Barcelona and New York, earning him membership in the Mannheimer Kunstverein German artists and international artists of UNESCO. His most widely recognised work is Kultureinfarben, a 50m by 25m wall which represents 126 nationalities found in Mannheim. He is the founder and director of the Avesta Art Prize.

Ba Hadien’s projects are recognisable for his often abstract, expressive stylistic choices. The running theme throughout his projects is the four elements of life that drive him most: God, love, his mother and himself.
