Background

A collector of postcards with paintings from famous late masters, Ba Khine was born in 1960 in Meikhtilar, a busy trading town in the semi-desert of middle Myanmar. He is a self-taught artist and also wrote poetry. His first chance to formally learn the techniques of painting was when he met U Aung Than, who was lecturing in fine arts at the Teacher’s Training College in Meikhtilar during the 80’s.

His passion for color was the driving force behind him becoming an artist. Previously, he was a professional photographer in local tourist places like Mandalay and Amarapura He learned about the composition of color and light while he experimented with his camera.

When visiting Yangon in 1996 he was awed by the creativity of fine art which to him was another world from the simplicity of photography. He was so impressed with fine art works he decided to pursue his own career in fine arts.
