Pann Kyi, was born in Myanmar in 1983. He was a quiet child who likes to draw cartoons or illustrations. He graduated from University of Culture in Yangon from the Department of Painting and obtained B.A. in Painting Honors’ Qualification. When Pann Kyi first encountered the breath-taking beauty of huge bamboo forest at the suburb area of Yangon, which shortly became his most famous and popular motif. Pann Kyi has consistently been attracted by the beauty of nature and especially moved by the figure of trees. He expresses his deep love for nature and his country through his paintings. The basic single theme color, like yellow, green and blue, often represents the seasons of summer, monsoon and winter, respectively. By rich yet pellucid layers of color with a pallet knife, Pann Kyi successfully depicts the serene atmosphere and mysterious depth of the forest space on the canvas. A native forest never shows the same scene every day and night by seasons.
Pann Kyi, however, attempts to capture the miracle moment and space of nature permanently in the canvas with themed color’s in the artist mind embracing the enigmatic depth of the forest and rays of light filtering through canopies and branches. Often the tiny figures of people and cattle in his paintings disproportionately contrast the imaginary tall trees, which subtly arouse awe in nature. Pann Kyi meditates on a vision of forest beauty. His works represent an ability to seek peace and contentment, even when the leaves change color.
