Jaidn Bain is a 16 year old contemporary artist who hails from the south land, Marabella to be exact. He attends Asja Boys College, San Fernando. The form 4 business science student is currently pursuing 10 subjects for CXC.
Jaidn’s mother noticed his artistic ability when he entered San Fernando Boys Government school at 5 years old and promptly enrolled him in art classes. His artistic skills and ability developed over the next few years resulting in him participating in the prestigious arts and music festival – Sanfest in March 2019 at the age of 11 where he was awarded a Certificate of Merit for his art piece. In November 2019, he won 1st place in his age category 10-13 years in the Office of the Prime Minister – National Aids Coordinating Committee NACC art competition.
In January 2023, he entered the Ministry of Tourism Culture and the Arts competition – Wellness in Tourism, A View from the Classroom. He was given an honorable mention at this competition which held an exhibition of the prize winners at the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago in March. This gave him the opportunity to interact with fellow artists which spurred him on to become a member of the Art Society.
Since then he has been actively participating in several exhibitions including showings at the Rotunda Gallery, Red House, Mille Fleurs and the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago. He also developed an interest in curating and assists with staging exhibitions as well.
