Myint Swe was born in 1956 in the Rakhine State in the Western part of Burma. He studied at the State School of Fine Arts in Rangoon from 1975 to 1977 and graduated from Rangoon University in 1981. His way of expression is sometimes realistic, other times semi-abstract or totally abstract. Myint Swe's paintings at times depict scenes from daily life such as love and market action, but his main focus is on the changing society in Burma, and in particular the development in Rangoon with respect to the city and its people. Myint Swe often conveys his views in forms of symbols or in an abstract way so the visitor may interpret the paintings at various levels. He is the leader of the Vision Art Group and has participated in more than forty art exhibitions, including in Thailand (1999, 2001, 2002) and Singapore (2001), and his works were recently purchased by the National Art Gallery, Malaysia for their permanent collection.  Myint Swe took part in the international show Identities vs Globalization in 2004 at the Chiang Mai Art Museum, National Gallery of Thailand and Dahlem Museum in Berlin.  For more information about Myint Swe  click
