Thant Swe

I am a passionate visual artist based in Singapore, specializing in watercolor, acrylic, and oil painting. With over seven years of experience in the art world, my work vividly explores culture, human connection, and the beauty of everyday life. I blend traditional techniques with contemporary approaches to create pieces that evoke deep emotional resonance.

Since 2017, I have co-founded Sagawar Art Gallery in Yangon, Myanmar, alongside my husband, where we showcased both local and international artists. In 2019, I opened Sagawar Art and Design School, where I taught art to children and nurtured the next generation of creative minds. I also participated in several group exhibitions in Myanmar, collaborating with fellow artists.

In 2022, I moved to Singapore, where I continue to develop my artistic practice. I am a proud member of the Women Artists Association, Singapore (WAA), and have a deep love for sketching. I am also an active member of Urban Sketchers Singapore (USK.SG) and Singapore Sketchers (SGSketchers), where I connect with other artists and embrace the beauty of sketching urban life.

I have had the privilege of participating in several prestigious exhibitions, including the  International Watercolor Festival (2025) Ceret, France, the 15th Asia Art Alliance Exhibition in Taiwan (2025), Mastery Expressions International Art Exhibition, Singapore (2025), Share a Bowl of Rice, Singapore (2025), Voice of Art 3 – SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN WINTER and the Singapore National Day Art Exhibition in 2024.

My artistic journey is shaped by my professional training at LaSalle College of the Arts and the rich cultural influences that inspire me. I strive to uncover the extraordinary in ordinary moments, capturing the essence of human interaction, the vibrancy of culture, and the visual beauty of culinary experiences.

Guided by my motto, “Eat, Paint, Love, Passion,” my work celebrates the simple joys of life, transforming them into powerful visual expressions. My art goes beyond mere representation; it is a reflection of my personal experiences and emotions, inviting viewers to connect with the world through my perspective.

Living Through Art

Painting is my way of expressing the emotions and stories inside me. Eat, Paint, Love, Passion is more than a motto—it’s a journey to live with creativity.
