Myanmar artist Tin Maung Oo has been interested in art all of his life. Born in Yangon in 1949 he developed drawing skills at an early age, but he was inspired to take an interest in painting by a neighbour who happened to be a leading artist at the time. As a young man he spent hours standing by the easel of Dr San Myint wanting to replicate his style, but was never quite satisfied with his efforts to produce the traditional style of realistic paintings.
