U HLA HAN BURMA MAYANMAR FAMOUS ARTIST PAINTER

Paintings Of Famous Burma Artist Painter U Hla Han.

This painting was belonged to the Burma famous artist U Hla Han. I was told this painting was awarded by a Malay State ruler to Dato Maria Menado, a very famous actress.

Dato Maria Menado, born in Tunsia, Mabnahasa, Menado, Indonesia, now 82,the famous actress from Sulawesi, Indonesia whose real name was Liesbet Dotulong @ Maria Abdullah.

In 1957, Time magazine described her as 'the most beautiful woman in Malaya' while United Press International, a news organisation, referred to her as 'the most interesting woman in Southeast Asia."

No wonder this still feisty woman caught the eye of the then Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Abu Bakar Ri'ayatuddin who proposed and they married in 1963 when she was 30.

The artist : U Hla Han, artist painter from Burma Myanmar


U Hla Han was born in Sagain in 1941. He is self-taught in painting, but is one of the most respected artists in Burma today. He studied under masters such as U Than, Saya Sound and U Ba Zaw, and several young artists today look at him as their teacher.


His paintings are related to daily life in Burma, though they often tend to depict motives which are metaphors to be interpreted. U Hla Han has participated in more than 50 art exhibitions in Burma and has also taken part in shows in Malaysia (1991) and Singapore (1994).


These are some of his paintings.
