Hla Myint Swe ((ビルマ語:လှမြင့်ဆွေ) (:l̥a̰ mjɪ̰ɴ sʰwè); born 1948) is an artist, photographer and author from Myanmar. He was born in Bamaw, Kachin State, Myanmar in 1948. He attended the Defence Services Academy, Pyin Oo Lwin and after graduating served in various positions as an army officer. As of 2010, he was head of the Public Relations and Information Department of the Yangon City Development Committee.〔 ==Artistic work== Hla Myint Swe works in watercolor, oil, acrylics and photography. He is best known for his lifelike ink drawings, particularly of the national races, in which he tries to capture the personality and mood of his subject through a drawing of the face or full figure. He came to use this medium while serving in the army, since he could sketch anywhere with no more than a ballpoint pen.〔 His ''Spiritual Soulfulness of Myanmar'' (1997), is a collection of essays and photographs from the Myanmar Theravada perspective.〔 An English-language version of the book was issued in June 2008.〔 ''Myanmar National Tribes'' is a collection of sketches showing the dresses and life-style of nationalities such as Lisu, Wa, Naga, Akha, Chin, Jingphaw, Padaung and Shan.〔 For his seventh book, ''Buddham Dhammam Samgham: Buddhist faith in Myanmar'', published in December 2009, Hla Myint Swe travelled through Myanmar and Nepal to take the photographs. In Nepal, he photographed the pilgrimage site of Lumbini, considered the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, the Nepalese prince who later founded the Buddhist tradition. Other photographs show Buddhist monks, nuns, temples and pagodas as well as spectacular local scenery.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hla Myint Swe (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
