Yong Mun Sen (10 January 1896[1] – 1962) was a Malaysian artist and one of the founder of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, then Malaya.
Sen always spoke of how seeing a Japanese artist painting with watercolors had made an indelible impression on him.
[2] Although trained in formal Chinese brush painting and calligraphy in China, as an artist he was drawn to watercolours and later oils.
Mun Sen is noted for his watercolour landscape paintings, which incorporate influences from Chinese art resulting in more airy and generalised compositions rather than in more detailed or factual depictions.
In 1929, Yong Mun Sen was the vice president of Singapore Society of Chinese Artists (SOCA).
