Nyein Chan Su tells his nation's tale through art

History has multiple layers, as in the story told by an artist from Myanmar.

ARTIST Nyein Chan Su, 41, knows the reason behind the brilliant gold colour of the Buddha statues in his home country of Myanmar. Two or three layers of red is applied on the statue before the gold leaves are placed carefully on top of them. They shine as bright as the sun, an unwavering symbol of hope and a brighter tomorrow.
