Htein Lin
Htein Lin, born in Mezaligon, Burma in 1966, is a multi-talented artist, internationally renowned for his paintings, installations, and the messages he conveys.
A passionate activist, student soldier, and then political prisoner for nearly seven years, he married Vicky Bowman, former UK ambassador to Myanmar, upon his release from prison, with whom he has a child. They lived in London for 13 years before returning to Myanmar, where he uses all kinds of artistic media to share his Burmese values and echo the transformations in society and political events. He is best known for his evocative, simple style, with a handcrafted aesthetic that oscillates between the abstract and the deeply human. His works traverse the history of conflict, pain, healing, identity, and religion, celebrating the spirit and beauty of ordinary people.
