Khing Zar Thwe

This acrylic painting captures a serene and iconic view of the Mandalay Palace in Myanmar.

As an artist with Down syndrome, Khing Zar Thwe communicates with a remarkable directness and emotional honesty through her art.

The central focus is a traditional tiered bastion, which stands in silhouette against the bright sky, perched atop the stark white palace walls. The entire scene is beautifully mirrored in the tranquil waters of the moat below, creating a powerful sense of symmetry and peace.

It is a heartfelt tribute to a place of great cultural significance, celebrating its timeless beauty.
