Early Life and Education[edit]
Aung Min Min was born on 22 November 1953 in Yangon, Myanmar. When he was a child, Aung Min Min liked to draw pictures with his colouring pencils.

When Aung Min Min was young, he attended 3rd standards at Cusion High School. When it was nationalised as a state high school in 1962, Aung Min Min studied English. He learnt a lot from his studies from the 5th grade.

When Aung Min Min was young, the lack of access to books and literature prevented him from being influenced by other artists from abroad. He had access only to Burmese artists. U Ba Kyi, Cartoon U Aung Shein and U Than Kywe are Burmese artists who influenced him. Since the development of internet, Aung Min Min now has the opportunity to learn from foreign artists and countries. He discovered that he liked Picasso the most.

In 1988, Aung Min Min arrived in Thailand from the border of Tacheleik (a town on the Thai-Myanmar border) and that was an eye-opener for him and his enjoyment in searching for further development of his life began.

Career[edit]
Aung Min Min started his career as a professional cartoonist. However, he had a difficult life as a cartoonist. Aung Min Min had drawn a cartoon play series under the pseudonym of "Hmone Dine" in the style of The Jungle Book. Eleven videos have since been released because many pictures were drawn by him.

In 1999, Aung Min Min set up his own studio to exhibit paintings. Initially, he showcased Myanmar Traditional Paintings - scenery and portraits. In 2017, Aung Min Min started to change the way he paint by depicting the daily life and rituals of the people of Myanmar.
