ALHAZ GK MUSHAHID

Artist, Inventor, Researcher & Chairman of We Want World Peace Organization

Alhaz GK Mushahid is a Bangladeshi artist, inventor, researcher, and humanitarian whose work brings together art, innovation, history, environmental protection, and the pursuit of world peace. His passion for antiques was inspired by his grandfather, the late Sheikha Muhammed Badhsa Miah Talukder, a prominent landlord of Habiganj. After discovering his grandfather’s valuable antique collection, Mushahid took the initiative to preserve it and established the GK Antique Collection. Over the years, his vision has expanded from preserving historical objects to preserving human heritage, knowledge, and cultural memories through art.

Art, Innovation & Long-Term Preservation

Through years of research and artistic experimentation, Alhaz GK Mushahid developed an original approach known as Artwork on Real Thin-Tailed Sheepskin, creating paintings on genuine natural sheepskin using his Keratin-Collagen Lock Technology. His work includes both oil painting and water-based colour techniques on real sheepskin.

His research focuses on developing a durable artistic surface that combines natural materials, fine art, research, and long-term preservation. To date, he has created more than 120 original artworks addressing themes including world peace, climate awareness, cultural identity, history, human achievement, and humanity.

Preserving History Through Art

A defining part of Alhaz GK Mushahid’s artistic vision is preserving the memory of remarkable people and important moments in human history. His collection includes portraits and historical artworks dedicated to figures such as Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Alfred Nobel, William Shakespeare, Socrates, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis Khan, Mother Teresa, Michael Jackson, King Edward VII, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and other prominent personalities.

Through these works, he seeks to preserve their images, achievements, ideas, and contributions for future generations. For him, art can serve as a bridge between the present and the generations yet to come.

Art for World Peace

As Chairman of We Want World Peace Organization, Alhaz GK Mushahid promotes the messages “WE WANT WORLD PEACE” and “NO WAR FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.” His peace vision encourages dialogue, diplomacy, mediation, mutual respect, cooperation, and peaceful negotiation over violence and armed conflict. He believes lasting peace should also be supported by human dignity, security, education, basic needs, opportunity, and hope for a better future.

Environmental Vision & Climate Action

His humanitarian vision also extends to climate change, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Among his environmental concepts are God-Gifted Nature Radar and innovative ideas involving the Palmyra Palm, exploring nature-based possibilities related to lightning protection, carbon capture, air purification, and environmental resilience. His environmental initiatives emphasize tree planting, increased green coverage, cleaner air, biodiversity, and healthier environments for future generations. His artwork “Climate Action: Carbon Burning, Earth Weeping” further expresses his concern for the planet through visual art.

Humanitarian Vision to Plant 1,000 God-Gifted Nature Radars Worldwide

Alhaz GK Mushahid has proposed a humanitarian environmental initiative called “God-Gifted Nature Radar,” offering to plant 1,000 Palmyra Palm trees at important cities, schools, colleges, and universities around the world at his own expense. He has been working toward this vision by presenting proposals to governments, educational institutions, and environmental organizations. His proposed contribution is voluntary, with the aim of supporting environmental protection, climate awareness, and the safety and well-being of people.
