Kin Maung Yin was the leader of this group which in addition to Win Pe and Paw Oo Thett soon included Baji Aung Soe, Nan Waii, Shwe Oung Thame.

He joined the team for 18 months in construction of Kamalapur Railway Station, Dhaka after he graduated.

He was known not only for his paintings but also for his monk-like devotion to art alone and a proclivity for a hermetic life of solitude.

[8] He was inspired by Dutch modernist Piet Mondrian during his school days[9] but later some of his works including the portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi were inspired by Italian modernist Amedeo Modigliani.

His biography, This is Khin Maung Yin, by Ma Theingi was published in late 2010.
