Myat Thein Zaw

Beyond the Dark is his first solo Exhibition at Borderline Gallery. He drawn and painted since he was childhood at his native land, Arakain State. He learned from some artists who live at near his temple because he was a novice that time and they met at the temple. Some artists were come for their meditation to the temple that he lived and learned about religion.

He enjoyed with the nature since he was childhood. So he looked the lovely nature and he wanted to paint about the nature. He search and went to learn at some artist house as a novice and some artist came to him for teaching about art. So, his childhood life was enjoyable for his hobbies.

He came out as a normal person to be an artist from the monk when he was 20 aged. He moved to Myawaddy and then worked as a migrant worker at factory for livelihood in Mae Sot. He also moved and worked at the Canton gemstone picture factory and painted when he had free times and holidays. He sent his art works and sold at Borderline Gallery when he became a membership. He wants to try with primary colors for his art works because he likes impressionistic style. He also wants to create his own idea and imagine with the nature.
