Thein Shwe

Shwe Thein is a painter born in 1981 in Myanmar. He studied at the University of Yangon, where he was taught by masters Mon Thet and Than Kyawe and where he graduated in 2004.

Shwe Thein is known for his painting depicting boats from his native region, the state of Rakhine.
Colors occupy a main place in his work, because they allow him to homogenize perfectly the different elements that compose the landscapes. The sky, the water and the boats are one in the young artist's paintings. The harmony that emerges from his pieces give the observer a feeling of completeness, evoking the Buddhist culture of Shwe thein.
the Artist's style is constantly evolving, and his painting becomes more and more abstract.

Shwe Thein exhibits his work regularly in Yangon.
