About The Artwork

This painting is a delicious escape picture.  It allows you to project yourself away from your cares, walking your dog, about to partake in a delicious rum drink, seated under an umbrella by the sea.

How does a 13 year old child know how inviting this scene is?  . . . especially to an overworked adult who yearns to "get away"?

Ben Gelbart attended middle school with Lin Min and found this student's work to be particularly admirable. I heartedly agree. It wears a calm confidence. The use of color is balanced. I do hope this young person continues to pursue making art.

 

About The Artist

Born in 1995 in the Mawker Refugee camp in Thailand, Min is from the mountains between Burma & Thailand.

When asked who taught him to paint, he responded "the teachers at the refugee camp when I was just 9 years old".

Lin Min prefers to paint landscapes, as he finds nature beautiful, giving him much pleasure.  A book titled Games Played in Mae La Refugee Camp describes Lin Min's experience in the camp, illustrated in color by Lin Min Naing. This book can be ordered through www.lulu.com.

An avid soccer player, Min came to the United States in August 2008 along with his parents and his three sisters.
