Maung Win Cho (born 1963 in Mudon, Mon State) is a Burmese painter whose work draws upon everyday life in Myanmar and transforms it through bold colour, dynamic line, and a unique visual rhythm. He studied under the art master and his own father, U Lun Gywe, but chose to forge his own path—moving into contemporary expression that retains a deep connection to village scenes, marketplaces, bullock carts and streams.
His style is characterised by vibrant, sometimes translucent colour blocks and mosaic-like treatment of scenes, where the familiar becomes luminous. His subjects—flower sellers, rural roads, clusters of village huts—are rendered with a sense of warmth and energy that invites both nostalgia and renewed attention.
Maung Win Cho has participated in over 60 group and solo exhibitions locally and abroad, and through these, has helped bring Myanmar’s contemporary painting into broader visibility.
His art is thus both rooted in the culture and landscape of Myanmar and also expressive of a personal aesthetic voice—bridging tradition and modernity, observation and transformation.
