U Hla Han was born in Sagain in 1941. He is self-taught in painting, but is one of the most respected artists in Burma today. He studied under masters such as U Than, Saya Sound and U Ba Zaw, and several young artists today look at him as their teacher. His paintings are related to daily life in Burma, though they often tend to depict motives which are metaphors to be interpreted. U Hla Han has participated in more than 50 art exhibitions in Burma and has also taken part in shows in Malaysia (1991) and Singapore (1994).
