About the Artist: KHIN MAUNG YIN (1938)

“Khin Maung Yin studied architecture at the University of Rangoon and after graduation left for India to work in a construction company. He came back after a year to work for private architectural firms, earning a handsome salary which he gave up to spend more time painting. Within a few months he became known for the semi abstract or abstract works utilizing pure colours.

For some years he gave private English lessons but his whole life has concentrated on painting. The oil paintings of this self-taught painter are in collections all over the world. He was one of the leaders of the modern movement in Yangon and one of the most respected.

He is a somewhat eccentric man but loved and admired by the art community of Myanmar for his sincerity and dedication to his work.”
