Win Pe Myint,WPM (Burmese: ဝင်းဖေမြင့်, pronounced [wɪ́ɰ̃ pʰè mjɪ̰ɰ̃]; born 1948) is a noted Burmese painter. In 1970, he graduated from Rangoon Arts and Sciences University with a Botany major. He was extremely interested in painting since childhood. He studied under 4 outstanding art masters: Lun Gywe, Shwe Oung Thame, Paw Oo Thet and Thein Han (painter). He worked as an art teacher in Regional College - 3 from 1984 to 1986. He should not be confused with the earlier Burmese painter Win Pe of Mandalay, born in 1936, who was a contemporary of Paw Oo Thet, and one of the early founders of modernist painting in Burma.
Win Pe Myint is known for his still lifes; he also paints landscapes and portraits.[1] In February 2005 he opened his studio (True Colour) in Hlaingthaya Township, designed by architect Aung Soe Myint.[2]
