Richie Nath (b. 1995 in Yangon, Myanmar) is among the most acclaimed artist from Myanmar, who has found his artistic home in Paris since 2021 as a member of artists in exile. Having grown up in Myanmar and completing his studies at the London College of Fashion in 2017, Richie's paintings delve into the realms of queer self-reflection, identity, and dreams.
